selections) to trigger specific functions or update interface elements dynamically.
• Canvas Drawing: Utilize the Canvas widget for drawing graphics, creating custom
shapes, and displaying images within the application.
• Data Input and Output: Implement mechanisms for users to input data (e.g., text
input, selection from menus) and display output (e.g., results, messages) dynamically
on the interface.

11
4.3 NON-FUNCITONAL REQUIREMENTS

Performance: Ensure smooth and responsive interface interactions, minimizing latency

in event handling and widget updates.

• Usability: Design an intuitive and user-friendly interface with clear navigation,

consistent layout, and informative feedback messages.
• Reliability: Maintain stability and robustness of the application, handling errors
gracefully and providing fallback options for critical functionalities.
• Scalability: Support scalability in terms of handling increased data inputs, concurrent

• Security: Implement secure coding practices to prevent vulnerabilities such as
crosssite scripting (XSS) and ensure safe handling of user inputs and data storage.

Input and Output (I/O) Examples:

• Input: Users interact with the application by clicking buttons, entering text in entry
fields, selecting options from dropdown menus, and interacting with canvas elements
(e.g., drawing shapes).
• Output: The application responds to user inputs by displaying results, updating
interface elements (e.g., showing calculated values, updating lists), and providing
feedback messages (e.g., success notifications, error alerts).

INPUT DESIGN

The input design is the link between the information system and the user.
Input design is essential to ensure that data is entered properly, accurately, and in a user-
friendly manner in a Restaurant Management System (RMS). The software input design
must enable easy interaction with the system by different users such as administrators,
waitstaff, and managers. For example, menu management interfaces enable admins to
input, update, and delete menu items, with functionalities such as categorization for easy
navigation and validation to ensure correct pricing and availability. As the staff places
orders from customers, it must be able to pick items from an electronic menu, input
quantity, and add special instructions, with real-time validation to ensure the order is
correct. While processing payments, the system must be able to accept multiple payment

12
modes such as cash, card, or digital wallets, and must validate the payment amount entered
to ensure accuracy. Once accepted, a receipt is generated and handed over to the customer,
recording order details, taxes, discounts, and total amount. On the hardware side, input
devices such as POS terminals, barcode scanners, and card readers must be integrated
seamlessly with the software. POS terminals, with touchscreens, enable waitstaff to take
orders and accept payments in a speedy manner. Barcode scanners enable inventory
management by scanning out quickly menu items or ingredients, and card readers enable
secure payments. The system must have receipt printers to print hard copies of receipts for
customers and kitchen printers to print order details directly into the kitchen. With user-
friendly software interfaces complemented by seamless hardware input devices, the
Restaurant Management System enables efficient, accurate, and speedy operations,
ultimately leading to higher customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

Input Design considered the following things:

➢ What data should be given as input?

➢ How the data should be arranged or coded?
➢ The dialog to guide the operating personnel in providing input.
➢ Methods for preparing input validations and steps to follow when error occur.

OBJECTIVES

The primary objective of input design in a Restaurant Management System (RMS) is to create
an efficient, user-friendly, and accurate method for entering data into the system. This
involves designing user-friendly interfaces and hardware components that enable restaurant
staff, such as waiters, managers, and administrators, to easily input essential data like
customer orders, menu details, and payment information.

The goal is to ensure that data is captured accurately and processed in real-time to facilitate
smooth operations, from order taking and inventory management to billing and payment
processing.

By minimising human errors, streamlining workflows, and enhancing the speed and reliability
of service, the input design ultimately improves operational efficiency and customer
satisfaction. Additionally, it ensures that the system is flexible, scalable, and capable of
handling various forms of input, such as touchscreen, barcode scanning, or card swiping,
providing a seamless integration between software and hardware devices used in the
restaurant.

13
OUTPUT DESIGN

A quality output is one, which meets the requirements of the end user and
presents the information clearly. In any system results of processing are communicated to
the users and to other system through outputs. In output design it is determined how the
information is to be displaced for immediate need and also the hard copy output. It is the
most important and direct source information to the user. Efficient and intelligent output
design improves the system’s relationship to help user decision-making.

1. Designing computer output should proceed in an organized, well thought

out manner; the right output must be developed while ensuring that each output element is
designed so that people will find the system can use easily and effectively. When analysis
design computer output, they should Identify the specific output that is needed to meet the
requirements.

2.Select methods for presenting information.

3.Create document, report, or other formats that contain information produced

by the system.

The output form of an information system should accomplish one or more of

the following objectives.

• Convey information about past activities, current status or projections of the

• Future.
• Signal important events, opportunities, problems, or warnings.
• Trigger an action.
• Confirm an action.

 CHAPTER – 5 DESIGN AND

IMPLEMENTATION

5.1 ARCHITECTURE OF THE PROPOSED SYSTEM

The project involved analyzing the design of few applications so as to make the
application more users friendly. To do so, it was really important to keep the navigations
from one screen to the other well ordered and at the same time reducing the amount of
typing the user needs to do. In order to make the application more accessible, the browser
version had to be chosen so that it is compatible with most of the Browsers.

▪ Graphical User interface with the User.

Fig 5.1 Architecture of Proposed System

5.1.2 Module Description
The Billgenie module is a comprehensive solution designed to streamline the billing
process in restaurants using Python and the Tkinter library. This module provides an
intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that simplifies the creation and management of
bills. With Billgenie, restaurant staff can effortlessly input orders, calculate totals, and
generate receipts with just a few clicks. The module features user-friendly components,
such as dropdown menus for selecting menu items, input fields for quantities, and buttons
for calculating the total cost and printing the bill. It also includes functionalities for

19
applying discounts, handling taxes, and generating detailed summaries of the orders. By
integrating seamlessly with existing restaurant management systems,

Billgenie enhances efficiency, reduces errors, and improves the overall dining experience
for customers.
5.1.3 System Work-flow
Creating a restaurant billing system using Python with Tkinter involves designing a
graphical user interface (GUI) that can handle tasks such as taking orders, calculating the
bill, and generating receipts. The workflow for such a system, which we'll call "BillGenie,"
typically includes the following steps:
1. User Interface Design: Start by designing the main window of the application
using Tkinter. This window will include widgets such as labels, entry fields,
buttons, and text areas to display menu items, take customer orders, and show the
bill.
2. Menu Management: Create a system to manage the restaurant’s menu. This
involves creating a database or a simple list of menu items, each with a name,
description, and price. This data will be used to populate the menu section in the
GUI.
3. Order Taking: Implement a method for taking customer orders. This can be done
by allowing the user to select items from the menu and add them to the order list.
You can use buttons for each menu item or a dropdown list to facilitate the
selection.
4. Bill Calculation: Once the order is taken, the system should be able to calculate
the total bill. This involves summing the prices of all ordered items and applying
any applicable taxes or discounts. Display the calculated bill in a text area or label
in the GUI.
5. Receipt Generation: After the bill is calculated, provide an option to generate a
receipt. The receipt can be displayed in a new window or saved as a file. This
receipt should include details such as the restaurant name, date and time, list of
ordered items with their prices, the total amount, and payment method.

20
6. Payment Processing: Add functionality to handle different payment methods
(cash, card, etc.). This can include input fields for card details or cash received and
buttons to confirm the payment. After payment, update the receipt to mark it as
paid.
7. Data Storage and Retrieval: Implement a way to store transaction data for future
reference. This can be done using a database or simply by saving to a file. Ensure
that the system can retrieve and display past transactions when needed.
8. User Management: If the restaurant has multiple employees using the system, add
a user management feature. This includes creating user accounts, handling
login/logout, and tracking which user processed which transaction.

9. Error Handling and Validation: Incorporate error handling and data validation to
ensure that the system is robust and user inputs are correct. For example, validate
that the quantity entered is a positive number and handle cases where the menu
item is not available.
10. Testing and Debugging: Thoroughly test the application to ensure that all features
work as expected. Debug any issues that arise during testing to make sure the
system is reliable and user-friendly.

5.2.3 UML Diagrams

UML stands for Unified Modeling Language. UML is a standardized
generalpurpose modeling language in the field of object-oriented software engineering.
The standard is managed, and was created by, the Object Management Group.
The goal is for UML to become a common language for creating models of object
oriented computer software. In its current form UML is comprised of two major
components: a Meta-model and a notation. In the future, some form of method or process
may also be added to; or associated with, UML.
The Unified Modeling Language is a standard language for specifying, Visualization,
Constructing and documenting the artifacts of software system, as well as for business
modeling and other non-software systems.
The UML represents a collection of best engineering practices that have proven
successful in the modeling of large and complex systems.
The UML is a very important part of developing objects oriented software and the
software development process. The UML uses mostly graphical notations to express the
design of software projects.

22
GOALS:
The Primary goals in the design of the UML are as follows:
1. Provide users a ready-to-use, expressive visual modeling Language so that they can
develop and exchange meaningful models.
2. Provide extendibility and specialization mechanisms to extend the core concepts.
3. Be independent of particular programming languages and development process.
4. Provide a formal basis for understanding the modeling language.
5. Encourage the growth of OO tools market.

5.2.4 Sequence Diagrams

25
sequence diagram simply depicts interaction between objects in a sequential order i.e. the
order in which these interactions take place. We can also use the terms event diagrams or
event scenarios to refer to a sequence diagram. Sequence diagrams describe how and in
what order the objects in a system function. These diagrams are widely used by
businessmen and software developers to document and understand requirements for new
and existing systems. It includes following elements –
• Object or role - shows object or role which is involved in the communication with
other objects or roles.
• Lifeline - a vertical dashed bar showing the lifeline of object. The time dimension
visually is going from top to down thus we can track the creation and destruction of an
object along with the messages sent and received by it.
• Message - specifies a particular communication between objects or roles. It is
represented as a directed relationship pointing from sender to receiver. Message can be an
invocation of an operation, raising a signal, creating or destroying object. The message has
a name and it can include also parameters. Using different notations of messages, we can
model both synchronous and asynchronous interactions.
• Control - shows a period of time during which an object is performing an action
requested by the message received, i.e., we can visually show the period of the execution
of specific procedure; if we have nested procedure calls then we can visually as soon as
possible show the possible bottlenecks raising performance issues in the future. Visually it
is represented as a tiny vertical rectangle on the corresponding object’s lifeline.

 5.2.5 Flow Chart

USE CASE DIAGRAM

A use case diagram in the Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a type of behavioral diagram
defined by and created from a Use-case analysis. Its purpose is to present a graphical overview of
the functionality provided by a system in terms of actors, their goals (represented as use cases), and
any dependencies between those use cases. The main purpose of a use case diagram is to show
what system functions are performed for which actor. Roles of the actors in the system can be
depicted.
ACTIVITY DIAGRAMS
Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and
actionswith support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In the Unified Modeling
Language, activity diagrams are intended to model both computational and organizational
processes (i.e., workflows), as well as the data flows intersecting with the related
activities.Although activity diagrams primarily show the overall flow of control, they can
also include elements showing the flow of data between activities through one or more
data stores.[citation needed]Activity diagrams are graphical representations of workflows
of stepwise activities and actions with support for choice, iteration and concurrency. In the
Unified Modeling Language, activity diagrams are intended to model both computational
and organizational processes (i.e., workflows), as well as the data flows intersecting with
the related activities. Although activity diagrams primarily show the overall flow of

27
control, they can also include elements showing the flow of data between activities through
one or more data stores.[citation needed
COMPONENT DIAGRAM
The component diagram extends the information given in a component notation element.
One way of illustrating the provided and required interfaces by the specified component is
in the form of a rectangular compartment attached to the component element.Another
accepted way of presenting the interfaces is to use the ball-and-socket graphic convention.
A provided dependency from a component to an interface is illustrated with a solid line to
the component using the interface from a "lollipop", or ball, labelled with the name of the
interface. A required usage dependency from a component to an interface is illustrated by a
half-circle, or socket, labelled with the name of the interface, attached by a solid line to the
component that requires this interface. Inherited interfaces may be shown with a lollipop,
preceding the name label with a caret symbol. To illustrate dependencies between the two,
use a solid line with a plain arrowhead joining the socket to the lollipop.
DEPLOYMENT DIAGRAM

5.2.6 Deployment diagram

A deployment diagram in the Unified Modeling Language models the physical deployment
of artifacts on nodes.[1] To describe a web site, for example, a deployment diagram would
show what hardware components ("nodes") exist (e.g., a web server, an application server,
and a database server), what software components ("artifacts") run on each node (e.g., web

28
application, database), and how the different pieces are connected (e.g. JDBC, REST,
RMI).

The nodes appear as boxes, and the artifacts allocated to each node appear as rectangles
within the boxes. Nodes may have subnodes, which appear as nested boxes. A single node
in a deployment diagram may conceptually represent multiple physical nodes, such as a
cluster of database servers.
