M1-Viena-Study Kasus Aplikasi SIM Terhadap Rumah Makan Berbasis Online

Summary

The video presents a case study on implementing a mobile-based Management Information System (MIS) for a restaurant. The system integrates mobile applications for ordering, desktop software for kitchen and cashier operations, and real-time inventory management. Waitstaff can instantly send orders to the kitchen, while cooks receive updates and manage cooking times. Cashiers can automatically calculate bills, and reports on income and stock are generated seamlessly. This system relies on Android, supporting both Google-backed and open distributions, enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction in the restaurant business.

Q & A

What is the main focus of Vienna's presentation?

The main focus is on the application of Management Information Systems (MIS) in a mobile-based restaurant setting, specifically how mobile and desktop applications can streamline ordering and kitchen processes.

What are some common challenges faced by restaurants in managing food orders?

Challenges include slow cooking times, customer dissatisfaction with food choices, poor service due to high customer volume, and the difficulty of managing food orders efficiently in different restaurant concepts like fast food or all-you-can-eat.

How can the proposed system improve the order management process in a restaurant?

The proposed system improves order management by using mobile applications for waiters to send orders directly to the kitchen, real-time stock monitoring, automated billing, and real-time updates on order statuses, which reduce delays and errors in service.

What features are included in the mobile application for waiters?

The mobile application allows waiters to take orders and send them directly to the kitchen. It also enables waiters to check stock levels without needing confirmation from the kitchen staff.

How does the desktop application for kitchen staff work?

The desktop application enables kitchen staff to receive customer orders, track the time an order has been waiting, and update the order's status once the food is ready. This helps reduce delays and confusion in the kitchen.

What role does the desktop application play for the cashier?

The desktop application for the cashier automates the calculation of the total bill, reducing manual errors and speeding up the billing process. It also provides information on which tables have been occupied and their corresponding bills.

How does the proposed system handle inventory management?

The system offers real-time tracking of food inventory, allowing staff to monitor stock levels and avoid shortages. The inventory data is shared with both kitchen and waiter staff to ensure efficient management.

What advantages does the system provide in terms of cooking efficiency?

The system groups orders, enabling the kitchen to prepare meals collectively, which helps save cooking time and ensures orders are completed more efficiently, reducing wait times for customers.

What type of Android distribution is used in the system?

The system uses Android OS, which may either be fully supported by Google (including Google services) or use an open distribution model known as Open Handset Distribution (OHD), which does not have direct Google support.

How does the system handle data communication between the devices and the server?

Data is communicated between the devices (mobile and desktop) and the server through an ODBC connection. This allows for seamless updates of order statuses and other information in real-time, ensuring smooth coordination between staff and the kitchen.
