Thus, restaurants need an information system that would be convenient and easy to use
by the client, meet his requirements and requests, namely: to book a table for the right date
and time, order the desired dishes and drinks, and have a guarantee of timely order
fulfillment. The requirement from the staff is to ensure that the order is received from the
client and transferred to other departments – kitchen, bar, hall, automatic collection of data
on online orders and products available in the warehouse, and the current occupancy of the
halls. The requirement for the program from the administration and management is the
automation of personnel management.
6. Conclusions
The concept of CRM systems is based on the principle that the customer is a key factor in
doing business, and their requests, needs and requirements for services are crucial. CRM
systems are aimed at ensuring optimal interaction with customers, taking into account their
wishes, ways of interaction, reaction to the service, as well as assessing the quality of the
service provided. In this regard, the restaurant business is based on service and marketing
processes aimed at meeting customer needs. The practical implementation of CRM systems
in the restaurant business has its own peculiarities, which relate to both the functioning of
the institution and service processes, as well as the model of the CRM system itself. The
processes of working with information reflect the principles of a restaurant establishment,
such as organizing service, searching for potential customers, conducting market research,
and interacting with customers.
Modern trends in the development of CRM systems in the restaurant business include
the integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize data processing
and demand forecasting. This allows you to create personalized offers for customers and
effectively implement targeted campaigns.
When choosing information systems for restaurant business management, it is
important to carefully analyze the functionality, advantages, and disadvantages of CRM
systems. It is also important to take into account the specifics of your business and its needs.
In this article, the requirements for an IT project are formulated, and the modeling and
design of a restaurant information system using UML diagrams are carried out.
The results of the study theoretically substantiate the need for practical implementation
of CRM systems in the management of restaurant business, in particular, taking into account
the peculiarities of service processes and characteristics of such systems. This approach
contributes to the automation of customer interaction functions and helps to improve the
quality of service in the restaurant industry.
