Delight Cake Shop
Abstract - The major goal of this project is to implement
computer-based inventory management cake shop system.
This research is done to prevent inconvenience to customers
and employees due to manual system errors. Visual studio is
used as the platform for designing the interfaces and coding in
this system. In this project, Microsoft SQL Server is also
employed as the database management system (DBMS). This
would be a significant benefit to business owners because they
would be able to continue operating with great efficiency and
correct data. On the other side, this aids in the delivery of
greater customer.

1 Introduction
The Delight cake shop is a large - scale cake shop in
Rajagiriya area. They are handling their system as
manually. They are selling cakes like wedding cake,
birthday cakes, cupcakes and other related cake items.
They are handling their day-to-day transactions to the note
books. There are several problems in the manual inventory
handling system. So, with the high demand of the cake,
they can’t handle everything use in the manual system.
They have to get staff members. Staff members are
changing time to time. So, continuing in this process is the
huge task. We forget to write some day-to-day transactions.
It is very hard to find the profit, losses, incomes and our
expenses. In these days there are many of customers are
coming to cake shop. So, there are many of orders. Because
of we can’t handle our daily transactions in note books.
Due to this manual system, we have the highest demand
cake and the lowest demand cake hard to find. So, we
change to this manual system to computerized billing
system. So, we can find what is the most demanding cake
category and we can ready for that. Sometimes we don’t
have available cake with the demand. So, we handle it in a
computerize system. Therefore, it is better to use the
computerized method instead of the manual method we are
currently using. A more efficient service can be obtained
by computerizing all those transactions rather than writing
them in the daily transaction books of the cake shop.
Compilation of reports, analysis of them as well as drawing
conclusions from them can be done more accurately by
computerized method. Also cake orders are in large
numbers these days so we can computerize this and get a
large number of orders. Then can increase sales and
increase profits. Also, recruiting new employees to the
shop as well as retiring employees is a big task. By
computerizing all that data, it is easy to calculate employee
pay and allowances efficiently as well. When doing
transactions on a daily basis in the manual system, you
forget to write down some transactions. Therefore, losses
may occur to the shop. Computerization records all
transactions as well as automatically calculates daily,
monthly profits, revenue, losses, and expenses of the store.
Computerization increases accuracy as well as reliability.
Computers perform calculations with 100% accuracy.
1.1 Aim
Aim of this project is to design and develop computer-
based cake shop handling system for Delight cake shop.
1.2 Object
The purpose of this project is to,
 To provide inventory handling subsystem for
cake shop.
 To compute daily transactions.
 To handle inventory level of different
categories.
 To find most demanding item of the month.
 To find least demanding items of the month.
2 Literature Review
Delight Cake Shop is a large-scale cake shop located in
the main street Infront of the Emiliana Hotel in Rajagiriya.
There are fifteen staff in all. This shop consists of four
sections. There is a separate store room. There is also a
birthday cake section, a wedding cake section, a cupcake
section. Each division has separate employees. They are
recorded in the daily transaction books. Employees in
different sectors record daily transactions separately but the
entire store does not record sales details in one place. So, it
is difficult to find income, profits, losses, expenses. There
is no search for the most demand cake category and the
least demand cake category. The customer information is
recorded in a book by employees. Accepted orders are also
handwritten and recorded in books. And this method is
very difficult because we issue a handmade bill.
The Bakery Management System will be compared with
cake shop system and both the advantages and
disadvantages will be having. There are some drawbacks
hard to use, security, database issue, bad customer
experience and bugs. Therefore, our cake shop system is
the best [1].
An e-Bakery is a web-based application design with a web
based structured approach. The purpose of developing an
eBakery to support an online system in expanding advertise
on the products in Mama Reni Enterprise. But our system
is a computer-based system. So, it differs from that one [2].
Online Bakery Shop System (OBSS) is an internet-based
electronic commerce system developed with the objective
of providing purchase and management service through
World Wide Web. It is an application that makes use of the
web multiple-tier client/server architecture [3].

3 Methodology

3.1 Method
The C# programming language (Visual Studio) and
Microsoft SQL Server were used to create this desktop
application.

The Visual Studio IDE (integrated development

environment) is a piece of software that allows
programmers to write and edit code. Its user interface is
used to edit, debug, and build code in software
development. Visual Studio comes with a code editor that
supports IntelliSense (code completion) and code
refactoring. The integrated debugger can be used as both a
source-level and a machine-level debugger. A code
profiler, a designer for creating GUI applications, a web
designer, a class designer, and a database schema designer
are among the other built-in tools.

In SQL Server, a database is made up of a series of tables

that each store a specific set of structured data. A table is
made up of rows, which are also known as records or
tuples, and columns, which are also known as attributes.
Each column in the table is intended to hold a specific type
of data.

The flowcharts that correspond to the functionalities in the

proposed system are shown here.
