Abstract— The project “CANTEEN AUTOMATION
SYSTEM USING ANDROID” enables to register online, read
and select the food from E-menu card and the user wants to use
android application. The result after choosing the food from the
E-menu card will directly seem on the screen near the chef. The
gadget is the mixture of android as nicely as internet application.
The barcode system is used for reading the products. By the
usage of this application the work of the waiter is decreased and
we can also say that the paintings is nullified. The benefits of
this is that if there is a rush in the canteen then there will be
change that the waiter will be unavailable and the user can at
once order the food to the chef on-line by the use of this
application. The user will have username and password, by
using which they can login into the system. This means that the
purchaser is the regular consumer of the canteen.
Index Terms-E-menu card, online, barcode system,
username, password.
I. INTRODUCTION
In today’s age of rapid meals and take out, many
canteen have selected to focus short instruction and
speed shipping of orders. This provides instant
visual confirmation of what we selected and ensure
that items in the order are, in fact, what was

The number one goal of this task Canteen
management device is to offer rapid offerings to
their college students, Staffs etc. Usually People
ought to visit canteen and order the food sand they
must wait in queue for a long term to get the orders.
But with the help of this you just should follow a
very simple procedure to reserve your stuffs and
you want now not to wait within the long queue.
II.LITERATURE SURVEY
In Many places is storing all of their data in
manual way. They have huge number of
customers daily. They have large number of
customers, and need the help of some
features so they can maintain and store the
accurately.
1.The challenges encountered by the manual
system in canteens is efficiency and customer
satisfaction.
2.The experience of ordering in most fast food
canteens is not pleasant for customers.
3.Customers have to make long queue before
placing the order and when the order is placed they

prepared.

The another trouble is performance that food

operations and keep with the first-rate of their
product and services regardless of how much

maintain performance as properly as fine
However, that there are some issues concerning the
traditional way to order foods in canteen.

A survey shows that:

• More than 80% of customers and buyers do Fig.3.1. Block Diagram

check and rely on critiques of the people.

• 50% rely on ratings of the online products they IV.DRAWBACKS OF EXISTING SYSTEM
want to buy.

• 30% of the users compare the products reviews
with others products reviews to get a reliable and
trustworthy thing.
Clearly consumers fee the feedback given by
other customers as do the groups that sell such
products. Blogs, website, are a repository of
customer suggestions which are valuable and
important sources of textual data. It means that
people make their decision of whether to purchase
the products or not by analyzing on those products.
•Require android phone if user is ordering
•Cannot access on offline mode.
•If the social media optimization team makes
use of one-of-a-kind IP address to send the
review, device will fail to music the fake review.
•Requesting server to remove the fake reviews
by verifying its content and its IP address.
•Automatic blocking of IP address if the
reviews are continuously posting with a same
IP.

VII. PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS

Canteen automation system is the

device where clients order their food and
receive meals within the canteen without
any delay as they can without delay move
and gather what they Ordered without
watching for a turn or ready time. This
system aims to accelerate customer orders
and purchaser order device used by
employees to accept consumer order. The
purpose of this system is develop a simple
canteen automation system and implement
it, which later will be used for a web based

FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
This work opens some of paths for future
research. The research can be Extended in several
directions and some of them are summarized
below:
• The scope of this have a look at is limited
to only the ones languages that are primarily based
www.ijarcet.org
Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2020, ISSN: 2278 – 1323
on Java such as Aspect J etc. This work could be
extended to be implemented on AOP languages
like Aspect C, Aspect C++, Aspect L (Lisp),
Aspect XML, and Aspect Android etc , which can
further be included in the proposed framework.
•The results obtained from the present work
are quite informative and researchers would find
them helpful for implementation in real-life
projects.
•Since the values of software metrics have
been computed on distinct class modules manually,
so there is a need to develop an automated tool to
predict the testability of a software system based
on Aspect Oriented Technology. The tool shall
calculate the testability at an early stage of
software development life cycle, i.e. from UML
diagrams defined at design level.
•A standardized automated tool could also
be designed for all the UML diagrams of Aspect
Oriented Systems
•Due to the dearth of time, the layout part
isn't completed so attractive.
•Further enhancement can be made in
designing the screens.
•Some extra forms also can be brought in
order to higher retrieve the remarks details.
•Various other alternatives also can be
delivered for the higher usability of project.
CONCLUSION
1.It will overcome the issues related to
traditional canteen management system and
provide scalable and reliable.
2.It provides frequent ordering list for fast
ordering.
3.These problems, information needs and
activities were documented and later used as the
basis for system design, which immediately
followed by the first phase.

environment.
5.It is was hoping that effective implementation
of this software program product would remove
any troubles determined during device
investigation.
6.Now a days technology is growing day by day
and there are so many website and application
available in the online canteen automation system
by which they sell their product.
7.Every product contains millions of reviews and
on basis of these reviews user buy the product
most of the time.
8.There are some organizations which post fake
reviews on genuine products and user get struck.
9.It also sends notification message to user
regarding blocked IP address.
10.User can be sure about the products
availability on that application and reviews.
