Question:

Hoosier Burger

Although Hoosier Burger is well recognized for its fast foods,

especially the Hoosier Burger Special, plate lunches are also
offered. These include such main menu items as barbecue ribs,
grilled steak, meat loaf, and grilled chicken breast. The customer
can choose from a variety of side items, including roasted garlic
mashed potatoes, twice-baked potatoes, coleslaw, corn, baked beans,
and Caesar salad.

Many downtown businesses often call and place orders for Hoosier
Mighty Meals. These are combination meals consisting of a
selection of main menu items and three side orders. The customer
can request Hoosier Mighty Meals to feed five, ten, fifteen, or
twenty individuals. As a convenience to its business customers, Bob
and Thelma allow business customers to charge their order. Once
each month, a bill is generated and sent to those business customers
who have charged their orders. Bob and Thelma have found that
many of their business customers are repeat customers and often
place orders for the same Hoosier Mighty Meals. Bob asks you if it
is possible to track a customer’s order history, and you indicate
that it is indeed possible.

a. Based on the information provided in the case

scenario, what entities will Hoosier Burger need
to store information about?

b. For the entities identified in part a,

identify a set of attributes for each entity.

c. Specify an identifier for each entity. What rules

did you apply when selecting the identifier?

d. Modify Figure to reflect the addition of these

new entities. Be sure to specify the cardinalities for
each relationship.
