ABSTRACT

Electronic Point of Sale (EPOS), system used in retailing in which data are processes at a cashier’s station and the information is relayed to the store computer. The computer relays back the price of the item to the cashier’s station. The customer can then be given an itemized receipt while the computer removes the item from stock figures. EPOS allows for efficient computer stock control and reordering, as well as giving a wealth of information about turnover, profitability on different lines, stock ratios, and other important financial indicators. This project deals with “Genesis fast food software based point of sale (POS) information management system” it deal with the system of all the management and information needs of the different section of a genesis fast food.  Most time, the genesis fast food runs into problem of getting necessary information  This study led to the development of “Genesis fast food-package” which will help a long way in reducing the problem encountered by the Entire management and staff of the genesis fast food.  The power of the package is also see in the area where time is of great importance.  This package will help immensely in eliminating wasted time in the operation of the genesis fast food service there by enhancing effective customer services.

ORGANIZATION OF THE WORK

Chapter one of this project explains what the project is all about.  It deal with the aims and objective of the project the statement of the problems, the importance of the study, limitations of the study and other information are included in this chapter.

Chapter two detail fully the literature review of this project it gives adequate information on genesis fast food and its activities. More light is shed on the project.

Chapter three highlights  the existing system and it objectivities.  The input, process and output analysis is also highlighted.  The problem of the existing system is also mentioned in this chapter.

Chapter four details the design of the new system the necessary software and hardware requirement for implements of new system are mentioned here.  The input and output specification and their design file system are show system and program flow chart are drawn here.

Chapter five, program is written and tested and was found suitable for the new system.

Chapter six deals with the documentation.

Chapter seven details the outcome of the study. The project id recommended to various filed.

CHAPTER ONE

1.0              INTRODUCTION

Point of sales (POS) or checkout refers to both a checkout counter in a shop, and the location where a transaction occurs. Colloquially, a “checkout” refers to a POS terminal or more generally to the hardware and software used for checkouts, the equivalent of an electronic cash register. A POS terminal manages the selling process by a salesperson accessible interface. The same system allows the creation and printing of the voucher.

Restaurant POS refers to the Point of sale (POS) software that runs on computer systems that are usually configured with either touchscreen terminals or wireless handheld devices. Restaurant POS systems are essential to the successful operation of most food service establishments because they allow the business to track transactions in real time. Typical restaurant POS software will handle daily tasks such as printing customer checks, printing orders to kitchens and bars for preparation, processing credit cards and other payment cards, and running reports. In addition, some systems implement wireless pagers and electronic signature capture devices.

The genesis fast food software based point of sale (POS) information management system is the control center for the property and workers at the supervisory level and above must be well trained and motivated in order to achieve business objectives of high yield, high occupancy rates and above all top quality service.  in genesis fast food software based point of sale (POS) information management system general manager are required to meet the challenges of day to day operation while practicing solid future planning and controlling skills.

1.1     STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

The present system of genesis fast food software based point of sale (POS) information management system in Nigeria has a lot of problem which are mentioned below.

SPEED OF OPERATION:

Speed of operation is a measure of the time lapse from when a process starts to workers to when it end. Since the present system is manually operated, there is tendency for the workers of  issuing of receipts can take the receptionist minutes to finish.
