Authors- Tarun K S, Dr.S.Nagasundaram
Abstract-College canteen, also known as a college cafeteria or college food service, is a facility within a college or university campus that provides food and beverages to students, faculty, staff, and visitors. It serves as a convenient on-campus dining option, offering a variety of meals, snacks, and beverages to meet the nutritional needs of the college community. Current systems may rely on manual order processing, leading to delays and inaccuracies in fulfilling student and staff orders. The College Canteen Food Ordering System is a web-based platform designed to streamline and enhance the food ordering process for students and staff within a college campus. This system involves four main actors: Students, Staff, College Admin, and Canteen Admin, each with distinct roles and functionalities. Students can access the system to browse the canteen menu, add items to their cart, and securely place orders. Real-time notifications keep them informed about order status, and they have the option to provide feedback on food quality and service. The system also enables students to manage their profiles and view order history. College Admins are responsible for user management, ensuring the smooth functioning of student and staff accounts. They monitor overall system performance, access order data, and generate reports for strategic decision-making. Canteen Admins play a pivotal role in updating the menu, receiving orders, processing payments, managing inventory, and coordinating with kitchen staff. They handle payment confirmations, generate invoices, and respond to inquiries from students and staff. Feedback from users is actively addressed to enhance service quality. The system integrates secure authentication measures, a user-friendly interface, and real-time notifications to enhance the user experience. Regular reporting and feedback mechanisms contribute to continuous system improvement. The College Canteen Food Ordering System aims to create an efficient, transparent, and enjoyable food ordering experience within the college community.
