you will analyse.)
The development of the electronic food ordering system
Summary
(A one paragraph description of what your project is about.)
In this project we are going to develop an electronic food ordering system that will be
available for the customers to order food online at any point of time. It will have administrator
as well as customer modules so that administrators can manage the entries of the
restaurants from the website or update the details of the restaurants and customers.
Objectives
(Between two and five bullet points, one or two lines each. Write these carefully, so they are
precise, realistic, and assessable. Your objectives are the anchor of your project.) It will be helpful in gaining knowledge about the principles of developing an effective
and accessible website for a business organization.
 Improving the skills about the enhancing the usability of the pages and over all
website.
 In order to be familiar with the GUI design principles related to the web page
development so that the user experience can be improved.
 Gaining knowledge about the planning for a web development project and
1

implementation of the project.
Document Resources
(What documented information are you planning to use, including academic literature?)
For the Development of the site we will be using the different previous literatures and
research papers on the development of the sites with the same purpose and objective. In
addition to that, we are also going to use SRS document for gathering and elicitation of the
functional and non-functional requirement.

Methodology
(What surveys, questionnaires, IT tools, IT frameworks etc will you use?)
In addition to that, the development methodology for developing the website is agile SDLC
(Software Development Life Cycle) model so that any new client requirement can be added to
the website.
Platforms
(Hardware, software packages, languages or environments.)
We are going to use, cloudaccess.net platform to develop and manage the site using
WordPress tools and plugins. As we are using the online CMS for developing the website,
2

therefore, the hardware requirement depends on the hosting platform, no hardware
acquisition is required.
Deliverables
(What will your project deliver? (In more detail than the PID.)
The deliverable for this project will be a functional prototype of the electronic food ordering
system website.
Access to the artefact by Examiners and other users
(How will your artefact be accessed by the examiners? Permitted methods include: your own
website, a YouTube video or PowerPoint upload to RDI Student Server.)
The website can be accessed by the users by accessing a given URL in the documentation
after the project is completed and the website development is completed.
Risks
(What could go wrong, and how you plan to mitigate any major risks?)
As per the project it may happen that the development schedule gets delayed due to some un
predicted issues. In that case it is expected that the tasks will be completed using more
human resource to complete the project on time. Another issue is scope creep, we must
follow SDLC to process and develop the website, for any additional requirement may develop
on next phase.
