Introduction
People today are too impatient; most of the time cannot find opportunities to spend their
mealtime at home. They can find the best quality of services and food suited for their satisfaction
to their ever expected needs. Customers play a big role in every eatery. Their growth and
progress depends on how the customers satisfy the service and delicious food. Every eatery
Customer satisfaction covers aspects of eatery day to day operations. The whole staff
should be involved in achieving a good customer satisfaction feedback. As the primary of every
restaurant is to make customers satisfied, food establishments tend to follow standard operating
procedures set by its management (Umali, 2006). According to Gadais (2005), every customer is
the foundation of any business' success. The primary focus of every restaurant is its customer
The researchers came up with the idea of making research paper that helps to reserve a
table and chairs for their customers. The researchers aim to develop a system that helps the
owner of PAMA’s Eatery to reserve a table and chairs for their customers. Finding a table and
Online Inquiry and Reservation System is an online reservation system that reserve a
table and chairs to help the customers. The system helps the customers to reserve a tables and
chairs that suitable for them. The system also included the time and date of reservation, email
PAMA’s Eatery is owned by Ms. Mylene Bornakes. It is located at Block 2 Lot 7 Santa
Fe, Dasmariñas City, Cavite. The researchers pick them to be their client because of their
location. The price of the meal in PAMA’s Eatery is known to have affordable food because
their price will not increase over one hundred (100). The PAMA’s Eatery is very popular eating
place in front of De LaSalle University because most of their customers are students of DLSU.
PAMA’s Eatery have catered almost 2,000 customers per week. The day depends on how
many people will eat at PAMA's Eatery. The said restaurant has 17 long tables that can
waiters/waitresses, 2 chefs and 1 cashier. They are the people who provide food and services to
PAMA’s Eatery encounters the lack of service within the online world; restaurants this
day have online services. Like the restaurant reservation, where customers do not need to wait
for another empty table to sit on. When PAMA’s Eatery had a large number of customers inside
the restaurant, they cannot give the services needed by the customers and then it causes bad
reviews and feedbacks by their own customers that waited for long.
The major problem of PAMA’s Eatery is customer services when it comes to fast
reservation of tables. Because they have a reservation system that runs in a traditional way, by
using pen and book to write on, where they need to count every customer that needs a reservation
on their restaurant.

Theoretical Framework
to make decisions without consulting any other members of their team. As an example, an
autocratic restaurant manager may decide to add a new entree to the menu without first
consulting with the chefs. In some situations, such as dealing with the restaurant vendors, an
autocratic manager's quick decision-making skills may be appreciated, but employees under
autocratic leadership often end up feeling unappreciated and undervalued when their opinions
aren't taken into consideration. As a result, restaurants with autocratic managers may experience
Democratic Theory In contrast to autocratic managers who take all the decision-making
delegate authority to their staff. For example, a democratic restaurant manager may allow his
wait staff to make their own decisions on how to handle disgruntled customers, or may let them
work out their own system of orders and delivery with the cook staff. When the wait staff has the
power to handle these situations on their own, they end up feeling a greater sense of
accomplishment with their work. One potential downside is that some employees may take this
sense of empowerment too far and come across as being arrogant to the restaurant's patrons or
Consultative Theory Since both the autocratic and democratic management styles each
have their own benefits and disadvantages, many restaurant managers opt to use a combination
of these two methods to get the best of both worlds. These restaurant managers use what's
looking to change the decor of the restaurant. As a consultative leader, the manager may first ask
7
all the employees for their opinions on what they believe the customers would like, but the
manager will end up making the final decisions. In this case, the restaurant employees still feel
Laissez-Faire Theory The laissez-faire theory of management is quite different from the
other styles. Laissez-faire restaurant managers tend to have little involvement in how the
restaurant staff completes their day-to-day tasks. In some high-end dining restaurants, where the
staff members are highly motivated and capable, and this type of management style may work
well and even be appreciated. In fast-food restaurants, where the staff tends to require more
supervision and direction, this management style could prove disastrous. A good laissez-faire
restaurant manager will know when to let the staff do their thing, and when to pull in the reins. A
bad one will take this approach to avoid work and responsibility.
These theories help the researchers to decide to add a new entree to the menu without
first consulting with the chefs or owners. To practice a democratic style of the website. And to

customer loyalty. A satisfied customer is less likely to switch their choice of products and

In today’s business world, there are several competitors for any kind of business in the
market and the customers have a wide variety of products and services to choose from. If a
business fails to understand its customers’ need, the sales will start declining which will lead to
failure in many business cases. In order to improve the customer satisfaction, businesses need to
identify the customers’ experience and their needs. It is very important for a business to know
and understand the theory of customer satisfaction in order to improve it and meet the
likes, desire and dissatisfaction point and provide them the value of what they pay for. (Kotler
2000, 88)
When the customer is satisfied with the service provided by the restaurant, positive
feedbacks will be helpful for the growth of the business. When a customer is unsatisfied about
the service and qualities of the restaurant because it did not meet the expectations of the
customers, it will lead to negative impacts that will give the business a bad image. In addition, if
the service of the restaurant meets the expectations of the customers, it will increase customer’s
satisfactory, loyalty and popularity of the restaurants in nearby populated places. (Hwang, 2018)
