1. Project Title
Café Management System
2. Project Overview
The Café Management System is a desktop-based application
designed to streamline the operations of cafés. This system
will handle various functions, including order management,
inventory tracking, staff management, and sales reporting.
The application will be developed using Java with Java Swing
for the user interface, and MySQL for database management,
all integrated and developed using NetBeans IDE and MySQL
Workbench for database design.
3. Objectives
Simplify and automate daily operations in cafés.
Provide an efficient order-taking and billing process.
Track inventory levels in real-time.
Generate insightful reports for sales and revenue.
Maintain a database for customers, menu items, staff,
and transactions.
5. Technologies Used
Programming Language
Java
GUI Framework
Java Swing
Database
MySQL
Development Tools
NetBeans IDE (for coding and debugging).
MySQL Workbench (for database design and
management).
Version Control
Git/GitHub for version tracking and collaboration.
6. System Architecture
The system will follow a 3-tier architecture:
1. Presentation Layer: User Interface developed using Java
Swing.
2. Business Logic Layer: Handles operations like order
processing, inventory updates, and report generation.
3. Data Layer: MySQL database for storing information
related to orders, inventory, staff, and sales.
7. Key Modules

4. Inventory Management
Real-time tracking of ingredients and supplies.
Generate notifications for low-stock items.
5. Staff Management
Add and manage staff profiles.
Track working hours and calculate salaries.
6. Reporting Module
Sales trends by time periods.
Insights into best-selling items.
Export reports to PDF/Excel.
8. Feasibility Analysis
Technical Feasibility
The use of Java and MySQL ensures robust performance and
cross-platform compatibility, suitable for desktop-based
systems.
Economic Feasibility
Minimal cost involved due to the use of free and open-source
tools (Java, NetBeans, MySQL).
Operational Feasibility
A user-friendly interface and simplified workflows ensure easy
adoption by café staff.
11. Conclusion
This project will deliver a reliable, efficient, and scalable Café
Management System, tailored to the unique needs of café
businesses
