CHAPTER 1

The Problem and It’s Setting

Introduction

The mobile online ordering system is one of the latest services of most fast food

restaurants. With this method, food is ordered through online and delivered to the

customer. This is made possible through the use of cash on delivery. Customers pay

with cash, customers can be served even before they make payment either through

cash or cheque. So, the system designed in this project will enable customers to go

online and place order for their food.

Many people today do not want to deal with having to call a phone number and

be connected to someone who is not the desired person. Its just one of those things that

can be a real hard thing for some people to do, especially someone that’s been talking

on the phone all day at work. They do not want to be put on hold or get a busy signal

either. They just want to be able to get their order in quick and efficiently so they can

relax while waiting for their food. The internet has created the perfect way for people to

be able to handle most things in life without picking up a phone and dialing a number.

Research has found that people making an order online are more likely convenient

rather than ordering through phone calls. This comes from the fact that they do not feel

as though they have to rush in getting their order into the person on the other end of the

phone, and because they can see your full menu during their online order. They can see

their shopping cart, and decide that they want to try some of the products listed from the

menu.

Background of the Study

Online ordering may make them more likely to order from your restaurant. This

puts your restaurant in front of them as a good option for their food order. Plus, it gives

them a good opportunity to see your menu, get a feel for what you offer, and know your

prices all without having to pick up the phone. This may help you with marketing your

restaurant without having to add to your marketing. Online Ordering System aims to

accelerate customer orders. Customer Ordering System used by servers and to accept

customer orders. An online ordering system is not a new concept to many as this has

been running successfully all over the world for quite some time now. The whole concept

behind having a professional website along with a system show how you present

yourself to the online world. The researchers proposed to develop an Online Ordering

System for the Aling Lucy’s Panciteria. This system presents an interactive and up-to-

date menu with all available options in an easy to use manner. Customer can choose

one or more items to place an order which will land in the Cart. Customer can view all

the order details in the cart before checking out. At the end, customer gets order

confirmation details. Once the order is placed it is entered in the database and retrieved

in pretty much real time. This allows Restaurant Employees to quickly go through the

orders as they are received and process all orders efficiently and effectively with minimal

delays and confusion. The entirely of the Online Ordering System is to help achieve an

effective and easier alternative to their manual process that requires them to write the

items, and calculating payments. Online ordering system that we are proposing is

friendly user and greatly simplifies the ordering process for both the customer and the

restaurant.

Scope and Limitation

The researchers aim to develop an online ordering system for Aling Lucy’s

Panciteria as they are still using a manual system in their transactions, payments and

even in generating reports. The system will provide a security module which will have

two level of access such as Administrators, and Guests. Administrator is fully

responsible for monitoring and maintaining the website since they have access on some

modules which are hidden on guests such as product management, sales and reports,

management and others. At first, the system will only have one or two administrator who

has the authority to add more administrators by filling up the form which is available only

in the Admin module. This form will gather some information of the personnel such as

full name, contact number, e-mail, username, and password. In case of suspicious acts

of the newly added Administrators, the main Admin has the authority to deactivate them.

As for the Guest, they can browse the website which displays multiple tabs

called Order now, Home, Menu, Contact Us, and About Us. The Order Now tab is where

14
ABE International Business College
Las Piñas Campus
RCS 3 Building, Alabang-Zapote Road Pamplona 3, Las Piñas, Metro Manila

the customers can order their desired product. Ordering can be done by just inputting

the quantity of order and by clicking the “Add to Cart” button. The customer has an

option to view the shopping cart by just clicking the “View Cart” button located at the top-

right, bottom of the navigation bar. The system automatically adds the item to the

customer’s shopping cart. The Shopping Cart contains the summary of the orders such

as product name, quantity, price, and the total cost of their orders. The customer has

option to remove and checkout. If the customer still wants to browse for more items, a

link is provided at the bottom of the shopping cart page. If they want to remove the

product, they just need to click the “Remove” button to automatically delete the order

from the shopping cart. As soon as the customers are done ordering, they can submit

their order by just clicking the “Check Out” button. After clicking the checkout button

customers are required to fill up the checkout form that consists of personal information

and billing address such as Full Name, Address, E-mail, Contact Number, City, State,

Zip, in order for their order to be processed.

The home tab or the homepage of the website consists of an image featuring

Aling Lucy’s Panciteria Store. At the bottom of the homepage displays a gallery that

contains the store’s best seller products and schedule of the store’s working hours.

The Menu Tab only displays the updated pricelist of their product. It can be manually
monitored and updated by the administrator. The admin also has the authority to add
and remove product on the menu.

15
ABE International Business College
Las Piñas Campus
RCS 3 Building, Alabang-Zapote Road Pamplona 3, Las Piñas, Metro Manila

The customer can send their concerns by clicking the “Contact Us” tab consisting of

information form that is required to be filled up. The form consists of Subject of

customer’s concern, Full name, E-mail, Address, Contact Number, and Regards. The

customers have options to contact by landline, Facebook page and messenger by

clicking the links provided. After the customer had filled the fields of information, the

customer has option to submit the concern by clicking the “Submit” button or clear the

information fields by clicking the “Reset” button. The customer can get back to browsing

by simply clicking the navigation bar. After submitting the concern of the customer the

admin will receive the concern through Admin page and process the costumers concern

and immediately respond to the customer by sending the admin feedback to the

customer’s email.

For some information regarding the Company, the visitor may refer to the “About

Us” page containing the company’s historical background.

Maintenance allows the Admin to add/update/delete products and categories. In

order to add new items in the store, the Admin must input the required text fields such as

Product Name, Selling Price, Shipping Fee, Short Description, Additional Information,

Product Image thumbnail and select the appropriate category. Optional fields are

Original Price and additional photos. Product name must not match the other available

items in store. Price and shipping fee must be in Philippine Peso.

Under maintenance module also is the site configuration. This enables the Admin

to update the site information such as Company Address, Tel. No., Email and Shop

Description. Aside from Maintenance module, Admin Panel also includes Order

16
ABE International Business College
Las Piñas Campus
RCS 3 Building, Alabang-Zapote Road Pamplona 3, Las Piñas, Metro Manila

Management wherein it displays a table of all orders made by the clients. This table

contains the Tracking ID, Customer’s Full Name, Order Status, Total Cost, Date Added,

Date Modified and a column for Action (view or edit). Administrator can easily filter the

table by Status, Tracking ID, Date or by Customer’s Name

In order to develop the system, the researchers will use a server-side scripting

language which is PHP as the front end since it is compatible to most of the servers

available in the web. CSS will also be needed for styling purposes and HTML5 for

creating forms. As for the back end, the researchers prefer MySQL as it is widely used in

most of the hosting sites and easy-to-use interface.

The system also has its limitations. The system only allows payment via cash on

delivery, which means that POS is not directly connected to automated payment system

like POS and Online payment transactions. Thus, the customers are required to fill up

the checkout form with their personal information to purchase and verify the items.

The researchers have a total of fifty (50) respondents. The first set of

respondents consists of 25 respondents who will be the customers of Aling Lucy’s

Panciteria to know the opinion and point of view from the customer itself. Customers are

selected whether they are a loyal customer or a regular customer must be fifteen (15)

years old and above.

CHAPTER 2:

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Local Study

A. General Literature Survey According to yahoo.com Online Ordering System is an

e-commerce function where a company allows customers to order products or services

via their website. Since the Internet is booming, having an online ordering system can

boost sales to some extent as it eases customers to place an order for the company's

services. I mean, people can place orders from their home as long as they have a

computer/laptop with Internet connection.

B. Abstract/Complied Abstracts The influx of an online ordering system greatly

affected what tends to be done in a matter of the blink of an eye. An online ordering

system permits a customer to submit online orders for items and/or services from a store

that serves both walk-in customers and online customers. The online shopping system

presents an online display of an order cutoff time and an associated delivery window for

items selected by the customer. The system accepts the customer's submission of a

purchase order for the item. This section deals with the summary of the thesis. This

thesis is about Online Ordering for Blue Magic its include the item name, price and

design. In this thesis also include how to order it.A major cause for retail stock-outs is

store ordering (Corsten and Gruen, 2003; Anon., 1996). Ordering can also take up a

large part of store employees’ time, thus using valuable resources. Not Surprisingly,

automated store ordering (ASO) or computer assisted ordering (CAO) have been offered

as solutions for improving performance and reducing costs since the beginning of the

21
ABE International Business College
Las Piñas Campus
RCS 3 Building, Alabang-Zapote Road Pamplona 3, Las Piñas, Metro Manila

nineties, when the electronic point-of-sale (ePOS) systems became more common

(Corsten and Gruen, 2003; Baron and Lock, 1995; Thayer, 1991). It has

also been argued that ASO can help to reduce inventories in stores (Van der Vorst et

al., 1997). However, despite the potential advantages, it seems that the majority of

retailers have only just started to implement automated ordering systems at store level.

This master’s thesis examines how automated store ordering could more efficiently be

utilized to improve store operations and performance. The thesis was done as a part of a

two-year logistics research project Cyclog, which is carried out at Helsinki University of

Technology.

There are two types of production ordering systems. One is the push type

production ordering system and another is pull type production ordering system. In the

push type production ordering system, the ordered quantity in each stage is determined

by forecasted demand. In this system the ordered quantity of each production stage is

ordered by a central controller. Material flows are controlled just as if they are pushed

out from the raw materials stage toward the final stage. In pull type production ordering

systems, the ordered quantities in each stage are determined by actual quantities

consumed by the immediate downriver stage. Here no central controller is needed.

Material flows are controlled just as if they pulled into the final product stage from the

stages preceding final production (Raouf and Daya, 1995).

The former type of integration implies that the system consists of two levels, the

upper level consisting of a push type production ordering system and the lower level

consisting of a pull type ordering system (Gupta and Brennann, 1993).

Local Study

In the Philippines, e-commerce is mostly being implemented by major retailers

24
ABE International Business College
Las Piñas Campus
RCS 3 Building, Alabang-Zapote Road Pamplona 3, Las Piñas, Metro Manila

and multinational corporations for bank-to-bank exchange. A number of Business-to-

consumer transactions have emerged through the years such as auctions, online

shopping, and online banking (Lacson, Pasadilla, 2006). This just shows that Filipino

businesses welcome this new opportunity in selling goods since 16% of the population is

using Internet. This new marketing strategy will not only benefit those big companies but

also the small businesses who cannot afford to advertise their products. Just by creating

a website in a very affordable cost would make the business grow in terms of sales and

enhance the company image as well.

Philippine firms have yet to fully tap the potentials of e-commerce that will help

them to compete in domestic and global markets. In the process of preparing

themselves to conduct e-commerce, these firms will be changing the way they do

business. These changes are expected to have an impact on the welfare of Philippine

workers. Most efforts to measure the economic effects of e-commerce—including those

on workers’ welfare—have focused on the U.S. and Europe, who are considered to be

the leaders in e-commerce. (Roberto, 2002) In general, it discusses the changes in the

nature of work from the front to back office is likely within the sectors performing services

Employment demand for these industry, they may be focused away from agents and

blue collared workers, toward higher management and executive staff.

As Filipinos entered the 21st century, local e-commerce transaction reached Php

1 billion. It shows that there’s at least one billion transaction sales growth annually. If this

trend continues, figures can reach up to Php 20 billion as more businesses conduct

online transactions. If significant economic growth takes place in the next 10 years,

these estimates may even double or triple (Toral, 2004).

25
ABE International Business College
Las Piñas Campus
RCS 3 Building, Alabang-Zapote Road Pamplona 3, Las Piñas, Metro Manila

One indisputable benefit of e-commerce is its ability to reduce transaction costs.

For consumers or buyers, this is most likely to take the form of lower search costs and

better information on products and prices. There could be drastic savings in production

and delivery costs of electronic or digital goods as well. (Lee, 2006)

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has become and will continue

to be an integral part of the day-to-day life of every Filipino across all levels of our

society.

The occurrence of communication technology around the world necessitates that

government get on a cohesive and coordinated strategy on how to prepare its citizens to

survive, live and thrive in a digital world. (The Philippine Digital Strategy Transformation

2.0: Digital Empowered Nation 2011) The main objective of the paper is to have a

competitive society where everyone has a reliable, affordable and secure information

access in the Philippines.

Foreign Study

According to Hold (2010) article, “Inventory refers to stocks of anything

necessary to do business”. The U.S Small Business Administration publication

describes what constitutes successful inventory management balancing cost versus

benefits of inventory, including: Maintaining a wide assortment without sacrificing

service; Keeping stock low without sacrificing performance; Obtaining lower prices by

making volume purchases; and Maintaining an adequate inventory without an excess of

obsolute items.

Based on Brigman (2007), Fundamentals of Financial Management, 5th

26
ABE International Business College
Las Piñas Campus
RCS 3 Building, Alabang-Zapote Road Pamplona 3, Las Piñas, Metro Manila

ed., companies are increasingly employing Inventory System. A computer start with an

inventory counts in memory. Withdrawals are recorded by the computer as they are

made, and the inventory balance is the constantly revised. When the recorded point is

reached, the computer automatically places an order, when this new order is received,

the recorded balance is increased. Retail stores have carried this system quite far, each

item has magnetic codes, and as on item is checked out, and it passes over an

electronic reader, which then adjusts the computers inventory balance, at the same time

the price is fed to cash register tape. When the balance drops to the recorder point, an

order is place. The proponents aim to develop an automated inventory system which is

technically, operationally, and economically. The method used by the proponent to

develop an automated inventory system is Descriptive Method. The proponent conduct

several interviews in order to gather information about the present existing conditions of

the inventory systems, knowing its problems and enhancing it by developing an

automated inventory system. Questionnaires were also distributed to all interviewees for

additional information. Using the descriptive method, the proponent also observed the

functionality of the present inventory system, which help them to discover that Electronic

Data Processing is Advantageous than other (Isn’t this part of the Data Gathering

Procedure?).

On an article written by White (2003), merchandizing means selling of

products to retail customers. Merchandisers, also called retailers, buy products from

wholesalers and manufacturers, add a mark-up or gross profit amount, and sell the

products to consumers at a higher price than what they paid. When you go to the mall,

all the stores there are retailers, and you are a retail customer. Retailers deal with an

inventory, all the goods (products) they have for sale. They account for inventory

According to Oludare O., et. al (2013), SMS is an acronym used in the world of

communications technology. It stands for Short Messaging Service which is a protocol

used in communications that gives way to the exchange of short text messages from

one mobile telephone device to another. SMS or text messaging largely dominates

today’s means of communication since seventy-four percent of all cell phone users send

and receive text messages nowadays. The technology behind SMS has paved the way

for the rapid growth of improvement of text messaging that has now allowed users to

broadcast SMS text messages not just from mobile phones but also from computers with

the use of SMS software and through public SMS gateways. The link between texts

messaging to SMS technology now connotes the terminology of “SMS” as the act of

texting or sending text messages even with the use of a different communications

protocol.
