Assessment 2
Introduction
School lunch programs play a critical role in promoting the health and well-being of school-
aged children. However, traditional school lunch ordering systems can be time-consuming,
error-prone, and inefficient. To address these challenges, many schools have adopted online
school lunch ordering systems. This research paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of
the benefits and drawbacks of online school lunch ordering systems, as well as the factors
that impact their effectiveness. By synthesizing the existing research on this topic and
conducting our own study, we hope to offer valuable insights and recommendations for
school administrators, parents, and students.

Research:
What is a lunch ordering system?

An online meal ordering system is software that enables school or restaurants to accept and
manage orders sent through the internet. … The first is a website or mobile app that allows
hungry customers to browse the menu and place an online order.
Develop a console
Sharrie MacArthur
Why is the food ordering system important?

A complete sales channel for the school is provided through an online ordering and delivery
system. This means that the business can use it to increase profits and improve organizational
efficiency.
What is the use of a School Lunch Ordering System?

Students can also benefit from online meal ordering by being able to easily reorder custom
and favorite orders, eliminating the need to wait in a big line at the school café and save time
in the morning, and parents from stress.
• Identify problems and requirements:
Healthy Food:
There are some Nutrition Standards which we should follow to design a nutritious and
balanced menu for kids. Offer a variety of healthy foods from the four food groups. Food
should contain minimal saturated fat, salt (sodium) and added sugar, and be mostly whole or
less processed. Offer only water and unflavored milk as drink options.
Food allergens:
There are 10 common food allergens. They must be listed on the food label if the food
contains them, or if they were used when making the product. These are:
• peanuts
• tree nuts
• milk
• eggs
• sesame seeds
• fish
• shellfish (crustacea and mollusks)
• soy
• lupin
• wheat
Develop a console
Sharrie MacArthur
Other cereals containing gluten (like rye, barley, oats, spelt, and triticale) must be listed on
food labels.
Types of payments:
Make 3 different types of methods available for customers:
• Bank transfer: payments will work well in this scenario considering the client requires
cashless modes, the money is debited from the buyer’s account in real time.
• Debit Card: Paying with a debit card takes the money directly out of the buyer's
account. It is like writing a personal cheque, but without the hassle of filling it out.
• Credit Card: Credit cards look like debit cards. But paying with a credit card
temporarily defers the buyer's bill. At the end of each month, the buyer receives a
credit card statement with an itemized list of all purchases.
ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

Throughout the system analysis, an in-depth, study of end-user information is
conducted, for producing functional requirement of the proposed system. Data
about the existing ordering system is collected through several fact-finding
techniques such as website visit and document review, at the beginning of this
stage. The data collected facilities information required during detailed analysis. A
study on the current system is performed based on the collected data. As a result,
user requirements of the proposed system are determined. At the end of this stage,
requirement specification is produced as deliverable.

PROBLEMS OF EXISTING SYSTEM

Most of the problems include:
1. Mistakes are made when taking the orders of the customers

Develop a console
Sharrie MacArthur
2. The process of collecting customers’ purchases order is very tedious.
This makes it impossible to deliver goods on time.
3. It leads to lack of understanding between the customers and the
employees.
4. The record-keeping system is poor. Losses of vital records have been
reported in the past consequently. Besides, protecting the file system
from unauthorized access is a problem that has defiled solution.
5. Unnecessary time is wasted conveying information through the ladder of
authority. Management at times seeks to get a copy of the customer’s
order form and this may take a lot of time to obtain it.
6. It causes reduction of production flow.
These are the major problems facing the existing system and would be corrected
with the help of the proposed system.
The proposed system will also have some other features such as:
1. Accuracy in handling of data
2. The volume of paperwork will be greatly reduced.
3. Fast rate of operation as in making the ordered food available and delivered
on time.
Develop a console
Sharrie MacArthur
4. Flexibility (i.e., it can be accessed at any time)
5. Easy way to back up or duplicate data in case of data loss.
6. Better storage and faster retrieval system.
7. Errors in the reports will be greatly minimized.
Study Design: The study design for this research paper is a comparative study, which will
involve comparing the effectiveness of online school lunch ordering systems to traditional
manual ordering systems. The study will be conducted in two phases. In the first phase, we
will conduct a literature review of existing online school lunch ordering systems to identify
their benefits and drawbacks. In the second phase, we will conduct a survey of school staff,
parents, and students to gather data on their experiences with both online and manual
ordering systems.
Data Collection Methods: To collect data for the study, we will use a mixed-methods
approach that combines both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. The data
collection methods we will use are as follows:
Literature Review: We will conduct a comprehensive literature review of existing online

school lunch ordering systems. This will involve searching academic databases such as
PubMed, Google Scholar, and Education Research Complete, as well as other relevant
sources such as government reports, white papers, and industry publications.
Surveys: We will use online surveys to collect data from school staff, parents, and students on
their experiences with both online and manual ordering systems. The survey will include
questions on factors such as wait times, order accuracy, ease of use, and satisfaction with the
ordering process. The surveys will be distributed via email to school staff and parents and will
be made available online for students to complete.
Interviews: We will also conduct semi-structured interviews with a subset of survey

respondents to gather more in-depth information on their experiences with both online and
Develop a console

• Fair: 20%
Develop a console
Sharrie MacArthur
• Poor: 5%
These survey results provide insights into the experiences and satisfaction levels of school
staff, parents, and students with the school lunch ordering system. The results will be used to
identify areas for improvement and to inform decisions about which ordering system to use in
the future.
Interview questions for a school lunch ordering system:

1. What was your experience using the school's online lunch ordering system?
2. What do you think are the advantages of using an online lunch ordering system?
3. What do you think are the disadvantages of using an online lunch ordering system?
4. What do you think are the advantages of using a manual lunch ordering system?
5. What do you think are the disadvantages of using a manual lunch ordering system?
6. How user-friendly did you find the online lunch ordering system?
7. Was the ordering process clear and easy to follow?
8. Did you have any difficulties navigating the online lunch ordering system?
9. Did you experience any technical difficulties when using the online lunch ordering
system?
10. How satisfied were you with the accuracy of your orders when using the online lunch
ordering system?
11. Did you feel that the online lunch ordering system was accommodating to your
dietary needs?
12. Were there any features or functions missing from the online lunch ordering system
that you would have found helpful?
13. Do you think that the online lunch ordering system saves time for school staff?
14. Do you think that the online lunch ordering system saves time for parents?
15. Would you prefer to continue using the online lunch ordering system, or switch back
to a manual system?
Interview questions will provide a more detailed and nuanced understanding of the
experiences and perceptions of school staff, parents, and students with the school lunch
ordering system. The results of these interviews will be used to identify areas for
improvement and to inform decisions about which ordering system to use in the future.

Data Analysis: We will use both quantitative and qualitative data analysis methods to analyze
the data collected in the study. The quantitative data collected through surveys will be
analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics, such as t-tests and ANOVA, to
compare the effectiveness of online and manual ordering systems. The qualitative data
collected through interviews and open-ended survey questions will be analyzed using
thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes in the data.
Overall, this study design and data collection methods aim to provide a comprehensive and
nuanced understanding of the effectiveness of online school lunch ordering systems
compared to traditional manual ordering systems, and the factors that impact their success.

Conclusion
After the swot analysis of the food delivery service business, we have concluded that it is an
incredibly good low-cost business. But the current circumstances are very tough, the market
is competitive, food ingredients are costly, and people have less affordability. If you have
found reliable suppliers, and you think that you can compete in the food delivery market with
differentiation, then you should do it.
4 Reasons Why Console Applications Are Great:

• Simplicity
Creating a console application is more straightforward than building an application that has a
rich user interface. You do not need to know or use any user interface languages, tools or
frameworks. You can implement a console application using simple C# programming.
Develop a console
Sharrie MacArthur
(Open source) Libraries help you with repetitious tasks like argument parsing, output
formatting, menu creation etc. You do not have to. Nowadays, it is simpler than ever to build
a console application focused on the business logic you want to implement.
• Robustness
Console applications do not need to change with every new shiny framework, or tool that is
trending right now.
Once created, a console application does not have to be changed every day. Sure, if the
requirements change or if you want to add a new feature, you must change the code or add
new code.
Usually adding new functionality to a user interface forces you to move things around and
consider further changes to provide a great user experience.
• Low development cost

Creating a console application is much cheaper compared to an application including a user
interface. There are a lot of questions if you want to build a good user experience for an
application with a user interface. A console app provides a much simpler yet effective
interface for the user.
Making use of libraries allows you to save time and money while you focus on the job that
needs to be done. It not only makes your application code much simpler; it also helps to
finish the project in a shorter period.
• Great for automation

Nowadays, in the age of continuous integration and deployment, automation has become
important. If you need to execute custom code, often console applications allow you to write
the code you need in your favorite environment.
Console applications can be executed from the command line by default which allows for
simple server-side automation or client-based scripting. I love it when I can write a script that
does a series of tasks for me.

Debugging report
• There were several bugs in this code for testing:

• In the registerUser() function, the isAdmin variable is not initialized. It should be
initialized to either true or false, depending on the user's input.
• In the loginUser() function, the user variable is declared as a reference to a User
object, but it should be a pointer to a User object instead.
• In the removeMenuItem() function, there is no check to ensure that the user enters a
valid item ID. If the user enters an invalid ID, the menu.erase() function will be called
with an invalid argument, which will result in undefined behavior.
• In the placeOrder() function, there is no check to ensure that the user selects a valid
payment type. If the user enters an invalid choice, the paymentType variable will be
uninitialized, which can cause problems later in the function.
• In the main() function, there is no check to ensure that the user enters a valid choice. If
the user enters an invalid choice, the program will continue to run in an undefined
state.
• There are no comments in the code to explain what each function does, which can
make it difficult for other programmers to understand the code.
TECHNICAL STYLE GUIDE:

• Variable and Function Naming Style:
• Use camelCase for variable and function names.
• Function names should start with a verb indicating the action performed by the
function.
• Global variables should be avoided as much as possible.
• Use meaningful and descriptive names for variables and functions.
• Example: void displayMenu(); void registerUser(string& username, string&

password); bool loginUser(const string& username, const string& password);
void processOrder();
Develop a console
Sharrie MacArthur
• Code Standard:
• Use indentation of 4 spaces.
• Use braces for control flow statements even when the body is a single line.
• Use single quotes for character literals and double quotes for string literals.
• Avoid magic numbers; use constant values instead.
• Add comments to explain the code where necessary.
• Limit the line length to 80 characters.
• Header Files:
• Include only the necessary header files.
• Include header files at the beginning of the code.
• Use standard header files instead of user-defined header files wherever
possible.
• Example: #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <limits> // for
clearing input buffer
• Data Structures:
• Use appropriate data types for variables and arrays.
• Use enums or const int for defining constants.
• Use structs or classes for complex data structures.
Example: string menu[] = {"1. Chicken Sandwich (multigrain bread and free range chicken):
$5.00", "2. Margarita Pizza Slice (GF base made with cauliflower): $5.50", "3. Seasonal
Salad(GF,DF,V): $4.50", "4. Fruit Cup (GF, DF, V): $4.50", "5. Smoked salmon bagel with
cream cheese: $8.00", "6. Greek yoghurt with granola (GF): $5.50" , "7. Bacon Lettuce
Tomato (BLT) spinach wrap (GF): $6.00" , "8. Veggies and dip, 1 cheese stick and banana
mini muffin: 8.00" }; double prices[] = {5.00, 5.50, 4.50, 4.50, 8.00, 5.50, 6.00, 8.00};
struct Order { int quantity; double price; };
enum MenuChoice { REGISTER_USER = 1, LOGIN, ORDER_FOOD, EXIT_PROGRAM };
const int MENU_SIZE = 8; const int MAX_LOGIN_ATTEMPTS = 3; const int

MAX_QUANTITY = 10;
Order orders[MENU_SIZE] = {}; // initialize all to 0or Project
