Restaurant Management System (RMS) is a cross‑platform desktop app built with Core Java and Swing that replaces fragmented spreadsheets and handwritten tickets with a streamlined, reliable workflow. Designed for small to mid‑size restaurants that need speed without infrastructure overhead, it runs as a standalone JAR and persists data using lightweight text files—no external database required.
The application structures operations around clear roles: managers manage menus, employees, and payments; staff focus on fast, accurate order entry. Under the hood, the system applies a clean separation of concerns across UI, controller, and data layers, with role‑based authentication, robust file I/O, and a modular set of screens for menu browsing, order creation/editing/closing, staff clock in/out, and daily sales reports.
The result is smoother service and better visibility: orders flow from selection to checkout without friction, staff onboarding takes minutes, and managers get daily totals and payment details out of the box. RMS reduces operational noise, standardizes processes, and delivers a dependable desktop experience that’s easy to run anywhere—exactly what a busy restaurant needs to keep the front and back of house in sync.
