 ABSTRACT

In today’s age of fast food and take-out, many restaurants have chosen to focus
on quick preparation and speedy delivery of orders rather than offering a rich
dining experience .This my project develops a system that will allow restaurants
to easily manage an online menu which customers can browse and place orders
with just a few clicks. The system then relays these orders to the restaurant
employees through an easy to navigate graphical interface for efficient
processing. The implementation of this online food ordering system project was
carried out using PHP and MySQL is used as the back-end database .In conclusion,
the work met all the objectives intended, it is hereby recommended for
restaurants and other food delivery industries.
