Abstract – Today we are applying technology almost every part of our life to make easy our lifestyle and also to save time. University is the place where students planting seed of success in their future life. In ordinary canteen management system, time is the biggest issue for students because in the ordinary system at first students go to canteen, then they wait for the waiter by which students can know about available food items and price also, then waiter collect order from students and after this procedure canteen authority prepare food and serve to the students. This ordinary manual system wastes valuable time of students and authority. To reduce these problems, we developed a web application CMS (Canteen Management System) by using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, jQuery for Front End and PHP MySQL for Back End, also use UI kit, Google map, carousal, Time picker for Plug in purpose. In CMS, any university can manage their canteen online and the students can save their time by using the pre-order system online. They can also pay later for the food and the manager also can keep track of their sales. In CMS application authority can see the order with details divided into three stages as cocking, delivered, and cancel. They can also see a list of the existing students and their information. They will have the feature to create an account for every new student. Students can order an item for a specific date and time and they will get a notification or reminder before the food is ready to deliver. Students can pay online and offline. Existing student needs to log in to order items. The new student can register for ordering items.
