🧱 PROBLEM STATEMENT

D3H05

Develop a solution for mess management. The solution should provide facilities to the mess admin and the students. For mess admins, they can manage coupons and other necessary details like menu, and pricing in the mess dashboard. Students can buy coupons from the mess dashboard only, deciding their desired meals for the week. The aim of the project will be to remove the hassle of buying coupons and provide a centralized platform for mess management.

  • Signing in to the account

    The students can sign in using their respective Google accounts using the sign in option. Login can be restricted to certain domains like iiit-bh.ac.in

    

  • Buying coupons for next week

    The student can apply for desired meals by selecting among the checkboxes. The final amount is displayed at the bottom for payment.

    

    Upon clicking "Continue with Payment", the student is directed to the Payment Gateway of Razorpay to complete their purchase.

    

  • Purchase history

    The student can check which meal and day coupons they have bought for the current and upcoming week.

    

  • Using QR code

    The student will be provided a unique (static) QR code which can be used directly using smartphones or can also be printed and used just like an ID. In the case that the students feel that their QR code has been compromised, they can create a new QR code.

    

• ADMINISTRATOR SERVICES :

  • Admin panel

    This provides interface to edit the cost, time, and items of the weekly menu.

    

  • Total meals

    This page shows the total meals to be cooked for the present week as well as the upcoming week based on the total coupons purchased.

    

  • Scan QR code

    This allows to scan and verify the mess QR codes. After selecting the meal type, upon hovering the camera over a mess QR code it shows a tick mark if the person has purchased coupon for the given meal on the given day. Or a cross mark if the person has not purchased the meal, or have already claimed it.

    

    The admin can press "Scan New" to check a new QR code.
