Streamlining College Cafeteria Operations: A Web Portal for Efficient Bulk Order Management

Abstract Efficient management of bulk orders in college cafeterias is paramount for ensuring timely service and customer satisfaction. In this paper, we address the challenge of manual and time-consuming order requisition processes by presenting a web-based solution tailored for cafeteria operations. Our system automates order requisition, menu planning, and billing processes, enhancing performance and minimizing manual effort through secure coding practices and asynchronous processing techniques. Rigorous testing, including unit, integration, system, and user acceptance testing, validates the system's functionality and reliability. Our findings demonstrate significant improvements in order processing time and accuracy, leading to enhanced operational efficiency and user satisfaction. This research contributes valuable insights into the design and implementation of web-based cafeteria management systems, offering practical solutions for improving service delivery in educational institutions.
