Coffee Shop

Phase 1: Requirements Analysis and Database Design

Tasks:

Identified the main requirements of the system such as managing product categories (beverages, desserts), inventory, customer orders, and sales.

Designed the database to include key tables: Products, Categories, Orders, Users, Inventory.

Created relationships between tables using Laravel migrations.

Final Outcome: A well-structured database that meets the system's needs, with tables for each key entity and correct relationships between them.

Phase 2: Building the Admin Interface

Tasks:

Used Blade templates to build the admin interface.

Created CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) interfaces for managing products and categories.

Developed a login form to manage user roles and permissions (managers and staff).

Final Outcome: A complete admin panel allowing managers to add, edit, and manage products and categories, as well as control inventory.

Phase 3: Order and Customer Management System

Tasks:

Built a system for handling customer orders.

Developed a page for staff to add new orders and calculate sales totals.

Added customer accounts to track their previous orders.

Final Outcome: An order management interface where staff can add new customer orders, track order statuses, and calculate total invoices.

Phase 4: Inventory Management

Tasks:

Created a system to update inventory levels based on new orders.

Added alert notifications for low-stock items.

Final Outcome: A fully integrated inventory system that automatically updates stock levels with each new order and sends notifications when restocking is needed.

Phase 5: Security and Performance Enhancements

Tasks:

Secured the system using Laravel features like Middleware to protect the admin pages.

Optimized the system's performance by using caching (Laravel Cache) and reducing unnecessary queries.

Final Outcome: A secure and fast system that provides a smooth user experience with protection for sensitive data.

Final Outcome:

The Coffee Shop Management System built using Laravel is a comprehensive solution for managing products, sales, orders, and inventory. The system is secure, flexible, and features a user-friendly interface that allows both staff and managers to operate it efficiently.
