 ABSTRACT
In this project, the main purpose of Canteen management system is to automate
the existing manual system by the help of computerized equipment and full-fledged
computer software, fulfilling their requirements, so the their valuable data can be
stored for a longer period worth easy accessing and manipulation of the same. The
required software and hardware are easily available and easy to work with Canteen
management system, as described above, can lead to error free, secure, reliable and
fast management system. It can assist the user to concentrate on their other activities
rather to concentrate on record keeping. Thus it will help organization in better utilization
of resources. The organization can maintain computerized records without redundant
entries. That means that one need not to be distracted by information that is not relevant,
while being able to reach the information. The aim is to automate its existing manual system
by the help of computerized equipment and full- fledged computer software, fulfilling their
requirements , so that their valuable data/information can be stored for longer period with
easy accessing and manipulation of the same. Basically, the project describes how to
manage for good performance and better services for the clients.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 Project Description
Canteen Management Software is an automated software which enables all
the activities of the canteen and maintain a detailed account of food served at the
canteen. It allows secure and speedy transactions. It helps management to handle the
users by reducing the waiting time for the customers. Our software helps you to
make the task much easy. It manages each and every aspect of the canteen right
from the brunch to dinner.
Canteen Management System helps to work seamlessly the dining facility without
any hassle. This software helps to automate the canteen facility and makes it
transparent. Additionally Biometric device is linked with this software to generate
the reports of the employees in the Canteen. Canteen management system is to
provide fast services to their college students, Staffs etc. Usually, People have to go
to canteen and order the foods and they have to wait in queue for a long time to
get the orders, But with the help of this you just have to follow a very simple
process to order your stuffs. And you need not to wait in the long queue.

A canteen facility is a supplementary system that is provided by organizations for

their employees/students. Organizations with large numbers of employees cannot
handle a canteen with manual processes. Our canteen management system provides a
friendly User Interface for numerous food outlets, menu design, billing features and
lots more. Implementation of such a system the operation of the kitchen and the
whole of the canteen as effective and quick as possible.
1.2 Objective of the Project

processes. The existing system is a cash and paper-based system.

 The payment and process take a lot of time as the customer has to pay the exact
amount and wait for the change.

2.2 Proposed System

 This system is generally advantageous for avoiding spending time waiting in

the queue by posting orders directly to the kitchen without delay and also by
scheduling orders ahead of time.

 It is achieved by having a card payment that reduces time spent on the bill
counter for payment and tendering adjustments.

 It saves time and also the technique dealing with easy.

SYSTEM DESIGN

3.1 Entity Relation Diagram

 3.2.1 MYSQL Server

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a domain-specific language used in programming and

designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS),
or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS). In
comparison to older read/write APIs like ISAM or VSAM, SQL offers two main
advantages: first, it introduced the concept of accessing many records with one single
command; and second, it eliminates the need to specify how to reach a record, e.g. with or
without an index.
Originally based upon relational algebra and tuple relational calculus, SQL consists of a
data definition language, data manipulation language, and data control language. The scope
of SQL includes data insert, query, update and delete, schema creation and modification,
and data access control. Although SQL is often described as, and to a great extent is, a
declarative language (4GL), it also includes procedural elements. SQL was initially
developed at IBM by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond F. Boyce in the early 1970s.
This version, initially called SEQUEL (Structured English Query Language), was designed
to manipulate and retrieve data stored in IBM's original quasirelational database
management system, System R, which a group at IBM San Jose Research Laboratory had
developed during the 1970s.

The SQL language is subdivided into several language elements, including:

• Clauses, which are constituent components of statements and queries. (In some cases,
these are optional.)
• Expressions, which can produce either scalar values, or tables consisting of columns and
rows of data
• Predicates, which specify conditions that can be evaluated to SQL three-valued logic
(3VL)(true/false/unknown) or Boolean truth values and are used to limit the effects of
statements and queries, or to change program flow.
• Queries, which retrieve the data based on specific criteria. This is an important element
of SQL.
• Statements, which ma diagnostics. y have a persistent effect on schemata and data, or
may control transactions, program flow, connections, sessions, or

3.2.2 Normalization
 Normalization is the process of efficiently organizing data in a database. There are
two goals of the normalization process: eliminating redundant data (for example, storing
the same data in more than one table) and ensuring data dependencies make sense (only
storing related data in a table). Both of these are worthy goals as they reduce the amount of
space a database consumes and ensure that data is logically stored. There are several
benefits for using Normalization in Database.

Benefits:

• Eliminate data redundancy

• Improve performance
• Query optimization
• Faster update due to less number of columns in one table Index improvement

There are different types of normalizations form available in the database.

1.First Normal Form (1NF):

First normal form (1NF) sets the very basic rules for an organized database:
• Eliminate duplicative columns from the same table.
• Create separate tables for each group of related data and identify each row with
unique column or set of columns (the primary key).
• Remove repetitive groups
• Create Primary Key
Before we proceed let's understand a few things -- A KEY is a value used to identify a
record in a table uniquely. A KEY could be a single column or combination of multiple
columns Note: Columns in a table that are NOT used to identify a record uniquely are called
non-key columns.
Primary Key
2.Second Normal Form(2NF):
Second normal form(2NF) further address the concept of removing duplicative data:
• Meet all the requirements of the first Normal form.
• Remove the subset of data that apply to multiple rows of a table and place them in
separate tables.

3.Third Normal Form (3NF):

Third normal form (3NF) goes one large step further:
• Meet all the requirements of the second normal form.
• Remove columns that is not dependent upon the primary key.

4. Fourth Normal Form (4NF):

Finally, fourth normal form (4NF) has one additional requirement:
• Meet all the requirements of the third normal form.
• A relation is in 4NF if it has no multi-valued dependencies.

If PK is composed of multiple columns then all non-key attributes should be derived from
FULL PK only. If some non-key attribute can be derived from partial PK then remove it.
The 4NF also known as BCNF NF.
