Day 2-3: Construct Database

In these two days you will construct the database for inventory and the point of sale cash register.
  1. Based on the decisions you have made in terms of software, and hardware needs, decide which fields you will need to enter in the database. One question that will help you keep focus on your work is: How can you find out that the database system improves the efficiency of the cafeteria? Based on this question or other questions that you have, prepare the fields that you want to have in your database.
  2. For the next 1-2 days, try out your database for inventory and the point of sale cash register. How does it work? Do you collect the data you want? If not, how can you improve the database? And most significantly, does the database for inventory and the P.O.S-cash register improve the efficiency of the cafeteria?
