CHAPTER 1 - INTRODUCTION

OVERVIEW
Conventional methods of serving at restaurants such as employing
large number of people for tasks such as order taking is one of the
major drawbacks of various restaurant outlets and business. These
businesses try to minimize their costs to a level possible in order to
earn a profit, however due to increasing demand of the customer
satisfaction and personal contact, competition has risen. This
competition involved various restaurant and catering businesses
striving to provide best customer satisfaction and quality personal
assistance. This competition has led to increased costs of the
businesses in this sector of the industry. This wipes out small scale
business that strive for survival in high competition as they are not
able to withstand high costs and drown into losses. Further the large
scale business manage to withstand the high costs however, they do
not manage to earn a profit, worth their effort.

In order to address this problem, the conventional method has to be

put aside to allow effective and efficient solutions, provided by the
technology we have today, to take charge. This project also involves
building a program that is created in C language, which addresses
the problem mentioned above. The program consists of the
restaurant menu, and its various abilities from generating a user
specific order, to generating a total amount payable by customer,
keeping the process to be highly interactive hence allowing the
customer to carry out this process by himself/herself.

CHAPTER 2 – BUSINESS LOGIC

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
There is increase in demand for better customer satisfaction and personal
attendance in restaurants. This has created a competition among various
businesses in restaurant sector, increasing costs of business, which lead to
closure of business for small scale restaurant owners, while the large scale
restaurant owners hardly earn any profit.
 STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
To create a program that contains a menu of the restaurant from which the
customer can select his/her meal.

To create a program that generates customer’s order before final checkout

To create a program that allows customer to carry out changes such as

addition of new item or deletion of an existing item from his/her order.

To create a program that generates a total amount payable by customer at the

end of procedure.

To create a program that is interactive, user friendly, and able to meet

customers’ demands of satisfaction and personal attendance.

LIMITATION
As this project leads to an evolution of operation routine for restaurant
businesses, it still is a prototype hence contains some limitations. Among the
minor limitations that would be developed in time, the major one is that the
program is not complex enough to address the money input by the customer
and output their change along with a token that a customer would use to
obtain his/her meal when ready. Rather a customer would have to move
towards a counter where he will be provided further assistance and he/she
should pay at.
CHAPTER 3 – PLANNING AND ALGORITHM

LIST OF VARIABLES
There are generally two types of variables in a C program, namely:

1. Global Variables – Global variables are variables that are

defined under main function.

2. Local Variable – Local variables are variable that are defined

specifically under a particular function.

Generally this variables also contain a data type, which defines the type of
data that will be assigned to the particular variable. For example, a variable
such as number would be assigned a data type such as integer to allow only
integer values to be assigned to the variable

Below is list of all the variables, including their data types and initial
assignment that have been defined in the project. They will categorized by
determining the function under which they were declared.

1. Main Function

 float price; //this refers to price of each item

 char choice; //this refer to a character that is assigned to open a

sub-menu, among others, under the main menu.

 int a[16]; //this is an array of 16 elements. This elements are

the total cost of each item that the customer has selected. Each
element is a multiplication result of its respective price and the
chosen quantity.

 int i //this is variable that are used to carry out loops and other
activities related to an array

 sum=0; //this refers to the total amount payable by the customer

  char b[16][40] = { ""
"Grilled Chicken Sandwich",
"Cheese Burger",
"Veg Fajita",
"Bacon Ranch Salad",
"Buttermilk Crispy Chicken Salad",
"Side Salad",
"French Fries",
"Low Fat Strawberry Yoghurt",
"Fruit and Yoghurt Parfait",
"Chocolate Shake",
"Vanilla Shake",
"Strawberry Shake",
"Coke",
"Sprite",
"Fanta" };
//this a 2-D array of the items offered at the
restaurant.

2. Sub-menus are triggered using a Nested If statement. Under each of

this sub-menu, local variables are:

 int choice = 0; // the variable int choice is assigned

numbers that point to a particular meal in a sub-menu. An
initial assignment “= 0” means that by when a user loads a
sub-menu, choice 0 is loaded which is null.

 int quantity = 0; //this variable defines the quantity of each

item that the user inputs, after selecting the respective item.

3. Order Function

 int position; //this variable is used in deleting item in

customer order. The integer is input by customer and the
respective item is deleted from order after pressing “Enter”.

 int again; //this variable is used in decision making

structure for user to decide whether to add another item,
delete an item or checkout. The integer input is assigned to
int again; and the instruction under respective integer is
carried out.
  sum = 0; initial amount payable is always equal to zero,
until customer adds items to his/her order. This is not a
declaration but an assignment.

LIST OF FUNCTIONS
Along with variables, functions are also declared in a program.
Below is a list of the functions in the program as well as a brief
description of their use.

1. void m_m ( ); //this function exhibits the main menu and

consists of Nested If statements that guides a user throughout to
the sub-menu and allowing addition of meals to his/her order

2. void complete( ); //this function is a courtesy function that

thanks the customer and prompts to come again soon. Its
primary use is to increase interactivity.

3. void order ( ); //this function handles all the items that a

customer has selected to purchase. They are added to an array
and displayed here. This function allows further options to add
more items to the order, delete an item from the order and
finally checkout, which will display the amount payable.

OPERATIONS AND TOOLS USED

 Data Types & Variables
 Header files
 Operators
 Decision Making
 Loops
 Functions
 Arrays
 Input/ Output Functions

1. Data Types & Variables

In this program, there are several uses of data types ranging from the basic
data types consisting of integer types and floating-point types, to the type
void. Examples are void main, void m_m, void order, void complete, float
price, char choice, etc.

2. Header files

Header files are files with extension “.h”. In this program, the header files
are included by using a C preprocessing directive “#include”. It contains C
function declarations and macro definitions to be shared between several
source files. Examples are #include <stdio.h>, #include <stdlib.h>,
#include <ctype.h>, #include <windows.h>, #include <time.h>, #include
<conio.h>
3. Operators

Under the large category of operators, several types of operators were used
to create the program. This types are:

a. Arithmetic Operators

This operators include:

* - Multiplies both operands Example a[1] = 500 * quantity;

++ - Increment operator decreases the integer value by one. Example:

Refer to loops.

Line 401 for( i = 1 ; i < 16 ; ++i ), Line 416 for (i=1; i<16; ++i).

b. Relational Operators

This include:

= = - Checks if value of two operands are equal or not. If yes, then the
condition becomes true.

ITEM

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

As indicated in the chart above:

 The number of disease outbreak reduces since human waste disposal can
be controlled.

 Number of deaths due to flash floods reduces drastically since families

can protect themselves against floods.

 A family can withstand several days of floods if food is available

CHAPTER 5 – CONCLUSIONS.

BACK GROUND

Several people lose their lives during flash floods. The government has
always made efforts to rescue flood victims though sometimes it come
too late.

The Kenya Red cross on its part has flown to areas not accessible by any
other means to airlift victims to safer grounds as well as providing them
with the necessary amenities.
 This however be improved by using the float houses so that by the time
rescue operations reach on site, every other person is safe.

PROBLEMS WERE TO BE SOLVED

Our project was addressing:

 Disease outbreaks

 Poor sanitation during floods

 Loss of lives among others

ACHIEVEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

As indicated in the chart:

 Lives can now be saved during flash floods

 Disease outbreaks can be minimized

 Sanitation can be improved

 The government can save millions

PARAMETERS/ ADJUSTMENTS

 Density of the float house

 Weight of the float house

 Volume of the float house

Parameter Effect of change/ Alteration

Density of the float Increase As the value of density of

house object approaches the value
 of density of water, buoyancy
decreases and house will sink

Decrease Increase in buoyancy and

house will float

Weight of float Increase As value of weight of object

house increases, buoyancy
decreases and house will sink

Decrease Increase in buoyancy and

house will float

Volume of float Increase As the value of volume of

house object increases, buoyancy
decreases and house will sink

Less Increase in buoyancy and

house will float

Figure 2 – Parameters

a) EMERGING ISSUES

In the year 2012, Kenya experienced some of the worst flash floods.
Several people lost their lives despite the government and Red Cross
efforts to mitigate the situation. If all families from the flood prone
areas have float houses, losing lives during floods will be history.

b) RECOMMENDATIONS

That every family from flood prone areas build a flash flood float
house and keep it safely for any eventuality.

That besides flood mitigation measures being put in place through

the Ministry of Special Programs, the government should also build
standby float houses and keep them in camps within flood prone
areas to help those who can’t afford to build such houses.
 Float shops can also be set up.

CONCLUSION

The country still lags behind in the improvement of lives of all Kenyans.
Saving every live therefore on its own means stability.

This will go a long way to sustain the economic growth since apart from
farming; life will go on as usual.

Disaster management skills will also improve.
