Smart-Canteen-Ordering-System

Problem Addressed

The cafeteria is really rused during Lunch Hour(Peak hours). Orders are processed very slowly. There is a huge waiting line to place your order which causes the food to be prepared a little late. Persoanlly sometimes I have had to go to classes without either finishing my lunch or just not be able to place my order at al.

Solution Overview

A website based solution is made to address the issue. Where students can place their orders right before leaving for class and their orders can be picked up as soon as they reach the cafeteria. This helps prevent wastage of student time and increase in cafeteria revenue.
