1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Online food sourcing and ordering system is one of the fastest growing services
fast foods and restaurants are adopting. This method makes it easier and
possible for the customers to simply order using their mobile phones from their
homes or workplaces and get it delivered to them.
Online food sourcing and ordering system is changing the way fast food and
restaurants interact with their customers. A platform as convenient as a food
sourcing and ordering system enables hungry customers to order the way they
want and when they want, using the device they prefer. Online food sourcing
and ordering is relatively new but spreading quickly.
Due to the great increase in the awareness of internet and the technologies
associated with it, several opportunities are coming up on the web. So
businesses and technology keep on evolving, venturing into their business with
ease because of the internet and bringing more and more comfort to end users.
Online food sourcing and ordering have evolved out of core basic need of
humans which is the need to eat and replenish our body cells.
The form of Food Sourcing and Ordering system that I am proposing here
greatly simplifies the ordering process for both the customers and the
restaurants, as the entire process of taking order is automated. This system will
present an interactive and up-to-date menu with all the available options in any
easy to use manner where customers will be able to choose one or more food
items to place in the cart. Customers will be able to view all the details of their
order in the cart before checking out. At the end, customers get confirmation
details and proceed to check out with a default option of pay on delivery. Once
an order is
successfully placed on the webpage, it will go into the database and will be
subsequently retrieved by members of the Dispatch Unit of Food Sourcing and
Ordering team and a rider will be sent out to deliver the order to the address
specified in the order. Within this dashboard for the Dispatch Unit, all items that
have been ordered will be displayed, along with their corresponding options and
delivery details, in a concise and easy to read manner.
2.2 E-COMMERCE
Electronic commerce or e-commerce according to Garret, (1996) is the
exchange
of goods and services by means of the internet or other computer networks. In
ecommerce, buyers and sellers transact business over networked computers.
Electronic commerce is also sharing business information, maintaining
business relationships and conducting business transactions by means of
communication networks. It includes the relationship between companies
(business-to-business), between customers (customer-to-customer) as well as
between companies and customers (business-to-customer).
