Restro-Insider

Restro - Insider maintains a quick, hassle free digital communication between Waiters and Chefs

INTRODUCTION

With Restro - Insider, an app solution, this communication issue is solved. The chef can alert a waiter via the app that the food order for a particular table is ready and waiting to be collected. The waiter receives the alert on their personal device either through a vibrate, flash or beep tone. This eliminates raised voices from the kitchen sustaining a peaceful eating environment..

The motivation to make this project came from our interest in android apps and technology which is spreading around the world rapidly. The traditional way of noting food orders in our restaurants and the procedure till the food item is served is found to be very time taking and burdensome. Receiving a wrong food order once after waiting for so long made us wonder, what can be implemented in a restaurant to accomplish maximum precision and pace? After really thinking about it, we finally concluded, an app solution which will help to improve the communication between the hotel staff, today we call as RESTRO-INSIDER. Paper wastage reduction, pleasant customer experience, simple ways of communication between the staff, also motivated us to create this project.

WORKING AND FLOW

The app starts with 3 buttons, Chef, Waiter, and Counter buttons. So, the process starts on the waiter’s side. Now, this part again contains 3 buttons, New Order, Order Status, and Add Menu item. So, when a new order button is clicked it takes the user to a new screen which shows menu items fetched from the database in the form of an interactive list (Can choose the quantity of a particular item) and it also accepts Table No. Once the order details are filled the user can proceed further. This will store the order details into the database Now The chef side comes into play as soon as the order details are loaded into the database. It fetches the order details and displays them on to the chef side. Now here the chef gets a "Done" button for every order. Now when the chef clicks the button it updates the order status in the database. This ends chef side work then as mentioned above the waiter has 3 buttons. The "Order Status" button gets to work after the chef has updated the details. This button takes the user to a screen where it fetches completed an order and displays them. Here a "Delete" button is available to delete the order permanently from the database after this Coming to the third button is "Add item". It takes the user to a screen where a person can simply type the new dish and click Add. This will add the new dish in the database and show up while creating a new order finally the third button on the home page is the "Counter" button. takes you through the same process that the "Order Status" button does.
