There will be three modules required to run Caf-e-Lite. We have named them Server Module, Managing Station Module, Client Module and Reporting Module

In Server module, it will be required to create all master entries location wise. This is a onetime exercise to create the database. However the authorized person who has access rights to change in application can change the master entries any time.

In Managing Station Module, we have options for project based visitors. Visitors who have come to the premises for a project can avail the meal facility or an employee who has forgotten his card at home.

In Client module, we have option to select the meal items. Whenever a user swipes the card, the selected item’s entry will be stored in the database and related information will be shown on the GUI.

Areteinfo also has mobile app based canteen management system. In this a user can book a meal on the app and the same info goes to the vendor app for preparing the meal and user gets a QR code on his app. User can then go to the canteen and get his order by getting his QR code scanned by the vendor app.
