Project Description - SCCapstone/Seating-App GitHub Wiki

Our Idea

For our project, we would like to create a table management app that would be used by a restaurant. The software would include a basic floor plan editor to customize the layout of the restaurant. It would include functionality for managing tables, such as number of guests at each table and how long guests have been at their table, as well as the ability to manage reservations. Some other functionality we would like to add could be capability to assign tables to different servers and filter them appropriately, and tracking of statistics such as total number of tables served, or average time spent waiting. Some goals of this project include allowing restaurants to better see how busy they are at any time as well as other logisitcs they may find useful. This would also allow restaurants to be more efficient in their seating and service times.

Target Platform

Our target platform would be universal as we are building a web application. This means any device or platform can access this app with an internet connection. We specifically decided on a web application for this project because of the variance in platform usage in the restaurant industry. We figured the biggest audience can be reached by implementing this idea as a web application.
