Software Design and Architecture for Cafe Management System (ISY3002)

This document outlines the architecture and design of a cafe management system developed for the Azure Food Cafe in Melbourne. The system aims to manage all aspects of the cafe's operations, including user sign-in/sign-out, order processing, report generation, and payroll. It features four main interfaces: administrative, cashier, sales, and chef. The document details design goals, system behavior, functional and system requirements, and logical, process, development, and use case views. The logical view expresses the system's components, relationships, and interactions, expressed through high-level architectural designs, sequence diagrams, and class diagrams. The process view describes the processes and control threads used to execute cafe management operations. The development view outlines module mapping to the overall development plan, and the use case view validates design activities through scenario walkthroughs. The design prioritizes usability, accuracy, and efficiency to improve business insights and operational effectiveness, while also considering security and maintainability. The system is designed using a three-tier architecture: client, application, and data layers. The goal is to create a stable, reliable, and easy-to-use system that can provide insightful information to monitor business performance.
