Our project includes considerations for customer convenience, employee welfare, and restaurant cost reduction. Our system will provide an alternative ordering approach to fast food restaurant customers, and reduce the number of cashiers required. This could also improve existing employees’ working conditions, as they no longer need to shuffle between the counter and the kitchen and can focus on food preparation.
This week, we updated our Gantt Chart to increase slack time at the end of the project timeline. This time will allow us to conduct more end-to-end tests if necessary and fix unexpected issues with our final product. We also created preliminary designs for our whole system, separating the system into hardware, front-end software, and back-end software components. Use-case requirements and testing metrics were updated based on our research about existing fast-food services and hardware systems. Next week, we will finalize our design, prepare for the upcoming design presentation, and start gathering necessary project components.
