Abstract
The use of computers has become one of the most common activities in
Ghana today. With the wide variety of possible uses that exists for these
complex electronic systems, it is no wonder that most of the commercial
industries that exist today implement its uses one way or another. There
however exist other alternatives to PC use which if explored could pave the
way to greater productivity.
In most restaurants that exist today, various methods are used to receive
orders from customers. One of such modern day methods is the use of an
online medium through which orders are made by customers through the
internet, from any location. With this method, orders are normally received
and managed at the restaurant on desktop computers. Using desktop
computers to manage these orders however often come along with problems
such as the high cost involved with the acquisition of computers,
maintenance of these computers and of electricity used to power these
computers. Some employees also sometimes use these computers for
unproductive activities such as playing games, chatting online and
sometimes viewing pornographic sites.
This document reports on a project undertaken to develop an alternative
system that could replace the desktop computers used to manage orders in
such restaurants and also curb the problems that come with using desktop
computers. It provides documentation on how the designed system works, the architecture behind it, and the procedure undertaken to arrive at the final
product.
