Giuseppe Shepherd learned how to make the perfect pizza as a child from his nonna. Since then it's been his dream to open his own restaurant, but he needs help creating the order management system for his new business.
NOTE: This project is a good example of a fairly ambitious capstone project that more than fulfills the basic requirements for graduation. As you start planning your capstone project, keep this in mind when thinking about the size and scope of the application you are planning to build.
Only employees will use this system, so think of them as the only users regardless of what role they are taking while interacting with it.
Giuseppe's (Joe, to his friends) restaurant has a dining room and delivery service available, and an order can either be placed for a particular table number or for delivery. Each order at the restaurant can have multiple pizzas on it.
Each order can potentially have two employees assigned to it for different purposes - Joe can tell if an order is for delivery if an employee has been assigned as the deliverer for that order. Orders are also always associated with the employee that took the order (at a table or over the phone).
Joe needs to see what the total cost for the order will be based on the total cost of all of the pizzas on that order. He also needs to see if the customer left a tip. Joe's restaurant is located in a magical place with no sales tax. For record-keeping purposes, Joe also needs to know the date and time an order was placed.
Eventually there will be other items available, but for the restaurant opening Joe is going to only serve pizzas. The pizzas come in three sizes - small, medium, and large. Each pizza on an order can have a cheese type, a sauce type, and then any number of toppings chosen from a list on the menu.
Joe provided us with a draft menu to help build our data model:
| Name | Size (in inches) | Base cost |
|---|---|---|
| Kids | 8 | $6.00 |
| Small | 10 | $10.00 |
| Medium | 14 | $12.50 |
| Large | 16 | $15.00 |
| X Large | 18 | $18.00 |
Cheese choice does not modify the cost of a pizza.
- Mozzarella
- Buffalo Mozzarella
- Four Cheese
- Vegan
- Ricotta
- None (cheeseless)
Sauce choice does not modify the cost of a pizza.
- Marinara
- Arrabbiata
- Garlic White
- Diavolo
- None (sauceless pizza)
The cost of toppings range from $0.50 and $1.00. The team can randomly assign a cost to each as it sees fit. Feel free to add any other toppings that you think would be fun on a pizza.
- Sausage
- Pepperoni
- Mushroom
- Onion
- Green pepper
- Black olive
- Basil
- Extra cheese
Delivery surcharge: $5.00/order
You will not be able to complete this project efficiently without proper planning ahead of time.
- One teammate should clone and create the develop branch
- Create an ERD for the system. Read all of the issue tickets to ensure that the entire team has the required context for the database structure.
- Create wireframes of the different views that the UI will need in order to fulfill requirements. These can be very simple, but make sure you have an idea of how the user is going to access each view, and how any forms will need to look to allow the user to input data.
- Review the Github Workflow Guide to create a project board and all of the issues in your repository to the Backlog column.
- Once you have started coding, create a new branch for each feature you work on while following industry standard branch naming conventions.
- When you feel ready, create a pull request and have two teammates review your code before merging the code into the
developbranch.
