**Overview:**
The system will be used in a retail fast food store/restaurant. The program will be a windows application. A touch screen will be used with the program (no keyboard/mouse) so please keep that in mind for this project in regards to the interface development. (ie. large buttons for navigation and menu items, on screen keyboard/number pad)
The system should be able to do the following:
1)Take orders and save them to the database (everything should be timestamped for auditing)
2)Print receipts to a receipt printer
3)Easily edit order buttons on the interface.
4)Credit Card Processing through internet (ie. [login to view URL])
5)Gift Card Functionality
6)End User security Enabled System (ie. User/Supervisor/Manager Access Levels)
7)Inventory Management
8)Reporting System
9)Work with other peripherals (ie. Cash Drawer, Magnetic card reader, bar-code scanners and pole displays) Please use [Microsoft POS .Net SDK][1] to code this, as it will simplify the process.
10)Orders to be displayed on a Kitchen Display monitor as they come in from the order terminal.
Please look at [[login to view URL]][2], as the functionality should be very similar.
## Deliverables
**Requirements:
**The program is a windows application and should be written in vb.net or c# and use an access database or SQL Server 2005 as the backend. The should have previous exprience in programming database applications. Source code must be provided with the project.
**Recommended:**While not a requirement, we **strongly** recommend that the person chosen use the following libraries from **Devexpress** <[login to view URL]> . You can download a trial version to test the functionality. We currently use these libraries for our development due to the end user exprience and ease of functionality. Also, most of our database programming is done with **Devxpress XPO**, <[login to view URL]> , due to the ability to programming for multiple database platforms.
Some notes on this project: It will be a **windows based application,** with the possibility to extend it to a ASP.Net Ajax enabled site to be able to modify product pricing and generate reports at a later time. After a candidate has been selected and work has completed on the windows application, they will likely be awarded that project as well.
Also note, we are looking to create a business relationship with whoever we choose. We currently have 4 other programming projects we are looking to develop as well, and will likely use the same candidate on future development projects if they meet our expectations. We currently have programmers on staff, and all projects will be reviewed by them for how well they have been created.
