Case Study: Analyzing Restaurant Register Design and Implementation

This case study examines the design issues of a restaurant's touch screen register system. The analysis focuses on usability problems, such as the difficulty of entering passwords and the inconvenience of locked registers. Security concerns are also addressed, including unauthorized access and the need for secure user authentication. The assignment requires the creation of a design plan that outlines tasks, time estimates, and system analysis. It also involves an examination of how the system balances security and usability, and suggests improvements to enhance both. The student is tasked with creating a graphical representation of the proposed interface using Visio or a similar tool, and at least three quality resources must be used to support the analysis. The assignment also requires the student to create a plan for implementing changes to the system including testing. The study incorporates concepts of human-computer interaction (HCI) and system design, and the paper must adhere to specific formatting requirements, including APA or school-specific citation standards. The student is expected to write concisely and clearly about the HCI topics using proper writing mechanics and technical style conventions.
