   • Special Dining Facilities for Booking available.

   • Insight to unlock new channel in future.

   • Donation for serving food to the needy is available.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

   In a case study food management system through a restaurant supply, Kuan Ju Chen et al. [1] proposed a wonderful idea to analyze the execution of the suggested models, which is used to signify the IMP solution.

   In an online food management system for restaurants supply,

   T. Shimmura et al. [2] proposed a unique system that is organized by which information of staff can be whacked by ordering using an advanced point-of-sale (POS) system. In this arrangement, cooking and the kitchenette staff can view all the consumer orders by the dishes that was ordered and supplied and the proceeded timing per order.

   In the research work for suggested restaurants, P. Ajitha et al.

   [3] proposed an affectionate result which computes NLP algorithm used for detecting the details and ideas of the user

   remarks. The termination and outcome of the research work divulge the recommended approach provide high precision.

   In a proposed system, Hassain Saeed et al. [4] solved problems overlook by today restaurant through. The use of technologies such as Mobile and Web applications, Internet of Things (IoT), Near-Field Communications (NFC) sensors, and cloud computing.

   In Multi-touchable E-restaurant Management System, Soon Nyean Cheong et al. [5] spotlights some of the restrictions of the PDA-based online food ordering process. The system comprises of several-touchable attractive dining menu that permits consumer to give order accordingly on the processed multi-touchable table using fingerprint during the busy schedule.

   In a real-time map to the restaurant, Vindya Liyanage et al.

   [6] proposed a theory which is executed as a mobile view application using new IT concepts such as Business Intelligence, Data Mining, Predictive Analysis and Artificial Intelligence. This also includes graphics and 3D modeling that needs remaining information related to food.

   In this research work, P. Manjunath et al. [7] focuses mainly on the combination of the several locations present in the office places. With this proposed system, it can examine and produce the contrasting description to convey the accurate recognition to the elevated management about the wastage of food.

   In this paper, Weidong Xi et al. [8] theoretically defines the term of difficulty-related food assembling quality and develops the relationship between the system, food quality of difficulty related system, mechanism, the behaviors, establishing and control danger.

3. METHODOLOGY

   1. DATA FLOW DIAGRAM:

      1. Zero Level DFD:

         The zero-level data flow diagram of food managing process is to elaborate the high-level process of restaurant. It is a primary survey of the overall food management system or process which is being examined. The model is designed in such a way that at a glance we can view of payments, orders and view item sub-processes visualizing the system as a unique high-level entity with the relation to exterior entities of food ordering and items which should be properly well- known by a huge crowd of entities in zero level data flow diagram of food management system such as restaurant items payment where we have described the high-level flow of food processing system.

         Set of activities for FlameOn:

         • Manage all the retaurants.

         • Manage all the items.

         • Manage all the sales.

         • Manage all the payments.

         • Manage all the orders.

         • Manage all the item categories.

           and not as an independent document. Please do not revise any of the current designations.

      2. FIRST LEVEL DFD:

   First level data flow diagram of restaurant management system shows how the system is divided into subsystems each of which deals with one or more of the data flow or from an external agent and which together provides all the functionalities of the restaurant management system as a whole it also identifies internal data stores of item category orders payment sell items that must be present in order of the restaurant system to do its job and show the flow of data between the various part of restaurant items orders item category payments of the system data flow diagram level 1 provides a more detailed break out of piece of the first level data flow diagram.

   Fig 1(b): First Level Data Flow Diagram

   1. ER DIAGRAM FOOD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

      ER is an Entity Relationship Diagram which set forth the model of Food Managing Process Entity. This relational diagram of Food Management System provides all the visional implement of database tables and the relations between Sells, Restaurant, Orders etc. It uses the organized data to elucidate the connection between organized data groups of food management system practicality.

      Food Management System entities and their attributes:

      • Items Entity: Attributes of items are item_desc, item_type, item_price.

      • Orders Entity: Atrributes of orders are order_id, order_desc, order_time.

      • Restaurant Entity: Attributes of restaurants are rest_name, rest_desc.

      • Admin Entity: Atrributes of restaurants are admin_email, admin_password.

   2. WORKFLOW DIAGRAM OF FUNDRAISING CHARITY THROUGH FlameOn

   Fig 3: Workflow Diagram

   FlameOn has taken the initiative to help the poor and helpless people with serving food. FlameOn is a non- profitable business management system because management has decided –

   • To open a donation fund where customers can donate as much they can donate.

   • Donation will also be given by the management end.
