Introduction
4
The Project Entitled "Mess Management Android Application" Is Software Developed To
Manage All The Financial Related Matters For A Mess.

Also It Is Very Hard To Maintain List Of Students Who Paid Bills .

• Overall It Is Very Hectic And Time Consuming Process To Keep This Data On
Paper. It Would Be Possible To Do The Same Work Within A Short Period Of Time
And Without Using Much Efforts And Manpower If There Existed A Software For
The Same. Thus, There Arises A Need To Create A Software For The Same.

• Such A Software Would Make The Entire Mess Related Management An Automated
System.This Is What Our System Does .This System Provide Many Functionalities
To Mess Management Related Task .This System Help User To Maintain Customer
Data Digitally. It Also Provide User Option To Distinguish Between Paid And
Unpaid Customer Bill.

• This System Allow User To Send Reminder To Customer About Their Unpaid Bill.
In This Way It Eliminates Paper Work .Thus , System Very Useful For Any Mess
Management.
