1. Introduction
In this project the main objective is to develop an application for “Dining Closely.”
In a usual scenario the customers have to cross a long queue in order to place their orders.
This process of placing orders becomes lengthier especially in peak hours (such as lunch or
dinner time). As the manual entry of the orders are maintained by the employees of the
restaurants thus the complete process becomes vulnerable to the error prone nature human
employees. Even after, placing their order to the restaurant the employees needs to wait
for a long time to get their orders and the same goes for the payment of their placed orders.
Therefore, with the proposed app, the users or the customers will be able to avoid this
problems while making the complete process efficient one that would provide better customer
experience starting from the booking table/order food to the payment and collection of the
food from the restaurant.
Through the use of the app, the users will be able to book tables, order food, and
check availability of some specific dishes, without being physically present at the restaurants
at which they are booking for tables, food.
1.1 Purpose
Purpose of this proposed project is to define the functional, non-functional
requirements from the perspective of different stakeholders, and accordingly develop a
mobile as well as web application for the customers and restaurants. This web and mobile
application will be helpful for the customers to book table at the particular restaurant near to
their location depending on their GPS. On the other hand the restaurants will be able to
provide specific details of the available dishes, opening time, table reservation cost and other
details.

1.2 Scope
Brief about the application features;
The app and the website will help the restaurants to enter their details along with their
location details and available tables or dishes.
The application enable the customers select from the nearest available restaurants
according to the GPS locations by matching with restaurant provided location details stored
in the database.
1.3 Definitions, Acronyms
GPS: Global positioning system.
Item: Available food or beverages according to the provided information from the
restaurant.
SRS: Software Requirement Specification
Payment: Total payable amount which comprises total cost for table booking or
ordered food by the customers.
2. Constraints
Hardware Limitations: Minimum hardware requirement for the system on which the
web application needs to be deployed is 4GB of RAM and a 30GB hard drive.
Others: As the application needs to be web based applications and requires internet
connection therefore the web application needs to be supported on different browsers. In
addition to that, the mobile application needs to develop in such a manner that, the app can be
used by maximum number of users can installed on the mobile devices.

3. Assumptions
For this project, the application will be developed to target maximum number of
targeted customers and thus mostly for android platform.
The users will have guest checkout options so that they would not have necessarily
sign up on the app or website.
The app will be using small sized images and graphics so that the site and the app
would require lesser amount of data as well as time to load.
