    2. OVERALL DESCRIPTIONS
    2.1 Product Perspective
    The traditional hotel management system does not have a automation software which tends to manual operation by the management team which takes more time, but proposed hotel automation system will reduce the management time by direct interactions.

    2.1.1 Interface
    The interface section is divided into four categories: the customer, host, waiter, manager (owner). Each interface has operations specific to the person that logged into the system. The terminal will be a touch screen interface. The restaurant is also required to have a highspeed wireless network connection to enable communication between the different components of the restaurant (host, waiter, chef, manager, and customer).

    2.1.2 Hardware Interface


    Customer: For the customer subsystem there will be as many touch screen panels as there are tables. Each customer will have an individual panel to send their order. All the communication is done through a web browser (like Microsoft Internet Explorer, or Mozilla Firefox). Employee: The employee subsystem which includes the various personnel of the restaurant will be equipped with a touch screen panel for respective operations. Depending on the login privileges the employee will be logged into their appropriate interface. As for the customer, a web browser will be used to communicate with the network. Database: The database subsystem will be utilizing a centralized server (like the HP ProLiant DL160 G5 Server series) which will be used as a storage and retrieval base for all transactions.
