As technologies has evolved around the world in the past centuries, we see
many ideas has emerged and improvement being built and developed to make
people’s life easier. With the advancement of technology nowadays, people can
easily perform or do any tasks they need or order any services they required
with just a few touches on their smart devices like mobile phones or computers
from anywhere and anytime they desire. With this convenient new way taking
over the world, majority of people now would prefer to order food from the
convenient of their own home or working place instead of going out using
public transportation or using their own vehicle to hotels or restaurants and
order from there. The old traditional method of ordering food is very time
consuming and tiring to say the less. Imagine you are busy in your work or
having to come back home tired from work, and going out again to order food
and queuing at the restaurant to wait for their order for at least 30 – 40 minutes,
it is very tiring and not something that many would prefer to do after a long day.
Therefore this paper investigates the literature review of food ordering system
to contribute in developing a smart ordering system.
1.1 INTRODUCTION
- Customers may lack visibility into the status of their orders, leading to
uncertainty and dissatisfaction with the delivery process.

1.4.1 general objective
The overarching goal of this Online Food Delivery Website project is to create a
robust and user-friendly online platform that revolutionizes the food delivery
experience for customers, restaurant partners, and delivery personnel.
The specific objectives of this Online Food Delivery Website project are
tailored towards achieving targeted outcomes that contribute to the overall
success and effectiveness of the platform. These objectives focus on addressing
key challenges, enhancing specific functionalities, and delivering tangible
benefits to users, restaurant partners, and delivery personnel.
By pursuing these specific objectives, the Online Food Delivery Website project
aims to deliver a comprehensive and impactful solution that enhances the online
food delivery experience for all stakeholders involved, driving value, efficiency,
and satisfaction across the ecosystem.
- Description: Implement features that allow users to track the status of their
orders, view estimated delivery times, and provide feedback on their order
experience. Display ratings and reviews for restaurants and delivery personnel
to enable informed decision-making and promote accountability for service
quality. Regularly monitor and analyze performance metrics to identify areas
for improvement and take proactive measures to address user concerns and
feedback.
The proposed system for the Online Food Delivery Website is designed to offer
a comprehensive and user-friendly platform for ordering food and drinks online.
It incorporates various components and functionalities to streamline the
ordering process, enhance user experience, and ensure efficient delivery
operations. The proposed system includes the following key elements:
1. User Interface:
- The frontend interface provides users with a visually appealing and intuitive
platform for browsing menus, selecting items, and placing orders. It is designed
to be responsive and accessible across different devices and screen sizes.
- Users can review their selected items, adjust quantities, and proceed to
checkout. The system calculates the total order amount, including taxes and
delivery fees, and provides secure payment options for completing the
transaction.
5. Order Management:
6. Delivery Coordination:
7. Payment Integration:
- Users have the option to provide feedback and ratings on their order
experience, including the quality of food, delivery service, and overall
satisfaction. This feedback helps improve service quality and informs future
decision-making.
9. Admin Dashboard:
Overall, the proposed system aims to deliver a seamless and convenient food
delivery experience for users while providing restaurant partners and
administrators with the tools and functionalities needed to manage operations
efficiently. By leveraging technology, optimizing processes, and prioritizing
user satisfaction, the Online Food Delivery Website seeks to establish itself as a
leading platform in the food delivery industry.
Online ordering systems have become essential tools for the food industry.
These systems allow customers to order their favourite food online via a web
browser on their computer or mobile device. Implementing such a system
simplifies the ordering process for both customers and restaurants. Customers
can place orders from anywhere with internet access, choosing delivery or
pickup options and payment methods. The system also streamlines order
management for restaurants, with orders sent to the restaurant's database in real-
time, allowing staff to process orders efficiently and minimize errors.
In this project a fast food research will be conducted in MTU cafeteria and other
restaurants where it will be taken as a case study to enable customers order for
food and get delivered accordingly and also reduce long queues of customers at
the counter ordering for food and reduce the work load on the employees.
Limitations to Study Due to time and financial constraints, the software that is
developed covers only aspect of food ordering
i. Time Constraints.
ii. ii. Scarcity of previous works
i) Live Help: when you order food online, you usually can’t ask a live
person questions about ingredient used in cooking the food, the day
the food was cooked, or anything else you're concerned about.
ii) ii) Limited Menu: The menu decisions are another disadvantage for
food distribution technologies. The food ordering system deliver a
restricted amount of dishes. The menu will change every few weeks or
months, but if you stick to the system for more than a few months, the
menu items will be repetitive.
iii) Hidden Fees: Many food ordering sites advertise low rates to attract your
attention, and then add fees and surcharges for a much less competitive deal.
