Problem:
Develop an ERD based upon the business rules described below.

A catering business wishes to manage data about their customers and their catering events.
Data about customers include customer identification number, name, address, home phone and cell
phone.
A customer schedules one or more catering events. A catering event is scheduled by exactly
one customer. Data about each catering event include the event identification number, event date
and event location.
For each catering event, the customer orders one or more menu items. Each menu item can
be ordered in many catering events. Each menu item has a menu identification number, a name,
preparation time, a listing of all ingredients, and a price per person. The catering company also
wishes to document the quantity ordered for each menu item in a catering event.
Each catering event may require one or more staff members and staff members are assigned
to many events. Data about staff include employee identification number, name, their skills (server,
receptionist, on-site-chef, etc.) and hourly rate. The catering company wishes to record each staff’s
start time and end time for a given event. Also, staff will be assigned a specific position (server,
receptionist, etc.) that they will fill at a given event. Please note that a staff member will be assigned
only one position per event, but the position may vary, depending on their skills, from event to event.
