Booking Flow

A passenger shall be able to book a taxi in Auckland and surrounding areas. They specify:

• Customer Name
• Contact Phone
• Pick-up address (unit number if applicable, street number, street name, and suburb)
• Destination suburb
• Pick-up date/time

We must then generate a unique booking reference number, booking date/time (i.e. the date/time the booking is made) and status with initial value "unassigned" for the request. Then add the request in a MySQL database.

Once stored, the customer must be presented with the message:

Thank you! Your booking reference number is [bookingRefNo]. You will be picked up in front of your provided address at [pickupTime] on [pickupDate].

Admin Flow
