Dinecart System: An Integrated Python-Based Restaurant Ordering, Billing, and Online Shopping Cart Management System
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Efficient management of restaurant operations and online orders is essential for enhancing customer experience, reducing human error, and improving business productivity. Traditional manual or semi-digital systems often lead to inaccurate billing, delayed order processing, and inventory mismanagement. This study introduces DineCart System, a Python-based application integrating restaurant ordering, billing, and an online shopping cart with an SQLite backend database. Utilizing Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) principles, the system provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for seamless order management, real-time inventory updates, accurate billing, and customer-friendly shopping cart functionality. Functional testing demonstrated that the system correctly handles order creation, transaction processing, inventory adjustments, and receipt generation. By consolidating multiple restaurant management tasks into a single platform, DineCart System streamlines operations, improves accuracy, and enhances the overall efficiency of restaurant service and online ordering processes.
