Project Overview

The Restaurant Management System is a complete solution designed to streamline the management of a restaurant's operations. It covers core functionalities such as order management, inventory management, and role-based access for Admin, Waiters, and Chefs.

This application is built to improve workflow and efficiency, enabling restaurant staff to quickly create, manage, and track food orders while ensuring the kitchen stays updated with stock levels. It also provides detailed reporting capabilities for restaurant management.

System Architecture

The system follows a multi-tier architecture, where each component is responsible for a specific function:

• Presentation Layer:
  • JavaFX FXML views and controllers (Admin, Waiter, Chef interfaces).
• Business Logic Layer:
  • Java classes handle the core functionality, such as food order creation, inventory management, and report generation.
• Data Layer:
  • MySQL database for storing user data, orders, inventory, and reports.

Use Cases

1. Admin Use Case:

   • Admin can manage users, generate reports, and manage inventory. They can also view and track food orders.

2. Waiter Use Case:

   • Waiters can create food orders, track orders, and update order status based on the kitchen's progress.

3. Chef Use Case:

   • Chefs can view orders, update the status of food items, and update inventory when ingredients are used.

Setup & Installation

Follow these steps to set up and run the project locally:

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) version 8 or higher
• MySQL Database (or another database you prefer)
• Maven

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/restaurant-management-system.git
   cd restaurant-management-system

2. Set up the MySQL database:

   Create a new database restaurant_db and configure the necessary tables. You can find the database schema in src/main/resources/db/schema.sql.

3. CREATE DATABASE restaurant_db;

USE restaurant_db; -- Execute the schema script to create the required tables SOURCE src/main/resources/db/schema.sql;

Configure the Database Connection:

Open the src/main/resources/db.properties file and set the MySQL connection properties.

db.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/restaurant_db db.username=root db.password=yourpassword

4. Build the project using Maven:

• Run the following command to compile the project:

mvn clean install

• Run the Application:

Use the following command to launch the JavaFX application:

mvn javafx:run

5. Running the Application

   • Login Screen: Upon startup, the system will display a login screen where users (Admins, Waiters, or Chefs) can authenticate based on their roles.

   • Role-Based Dashboard: After logging in, users will be redirected to their respective dashboards:

     • Admin Dashboard: For managing users, inventory, and generating reports. Use the input below for both the username and password test@admin

     • Waiter Dashboard: For creating and tracking food orders. test@chef

     • Chef Dashboard: For viewing and updating food orders. test@waiter

   • Navigating through the app: Admins can manage users, inventory, and generate reports. Waiters can create orders and track their status. Chefs can manage inventory usage and update the status of orders.
