ASSUMPTIONS:

You are to assume that you have signed a "contract" to generate an basic customer ordering system for a small doughnut shop (Ye Old Doughnut Shoppe), something that will allow Customers to fill in their order in a Visual Basic program running on a Notebook Pad or Laptop and submit electronically.

The ordering systems Submit Button sends the order to a .txt file or a database which then automatically feeds the order to the doughnut shop employees. (Assume also that this database will eventually (future use) be used for controlling inventory and purchasing of supplies. Not necessary to do anything with this in this Final Exam. Not part of your present "contract").

You are to make this system extremely user friendly. The system is to look very professional and eye appealing with a nice background graphic and at least two foreground graphics that are related to the business itself.

Assume that you will have three Forms, Customer Order, Employee Processing, Cashier, and either a .txt or a database file for you to be able to manipulate the data.

CUSTOMER INPUTS:

Customers will first add their Name on the FORM which should automatically cause your .txt or database file to be read to obtain the next Order Number (at least 5 digits long) which is read to the Order Number Label with at least 4 digits. Start at any random number you choose and increment by 1 for each order.

The Customers then select whatever they wish to order by placing a number is some container designating the quantity ordered. (These can be in any order, however, ALL MUST BE PRESENT AND ACTIVE ON YOUR ORDER FORM. When finished Customers will push the CALC TOTAL button to see the Total Cost of their order, Taxes, and Grand Total. They then push the SUBMIT Button or they should have a way to CANCEL this order (make sure the .txt or database results in the cancellation somehow also – you will not be able to CANCEL the Order Number, so a message "Cancelled by Customer" should be inserted.

Add a CALC TOTAL Button

Add a SUBMIT ORDER Button.

Add your "Designed by "Your Name" at the bottom in a nice text.

SUBMITTED ORDERS:

At the click of the SUBMIT ORDER button the data from all fields should be read into your .txt or database file. This same information should then be read into another FORM that shows a shortened version of the order for employees to fill. ONLY ITEMS THAT WERE ACTUALLY ORDERED SHOULD SHOW ON THE FORM EMPLOYEES USE TO FILL ORDERS.

FILLED ORDERS:

Employees cannot change an order once placed! The shortened form comes up on an ORDER MONITOR form them to fill. The only action available to them on their monitor is to push a FILLED ORDER Button. This causes one additional bit of information to be read into the .txt or database file that the order transaction was filled.

CASH REGISTER TRANSACTION:

The person running the Cash Register will see the same file that employees see when filling the order - with some noted exceptions. The Cashier can also CANCEL the transaction if there is a problem with the order. The Cashier can also accept the payment and push a PAID Button that will also send data to the .txt or database file with the PAID amount.
