A Case Study for MIS: Information System in Restaurant

A Case Study for MIS: Information System in Restaurant:
A waiter takes an order at a table, and then enters it online via one of the six terminals located in the restaurant dining room. The order is routed to a printer in the appropriate preparation area: the cold item printer if it is a salad, the hot-item printer if it is a hot sandwich or the bar printer if it is a drink. A customer’s meal check-listing (bill) the items ordered and the respective prices are automatically generated.

This ordering system eliminates the old three-carbon-copy guest check system as well as any problems caused by a waiter’s handwriting. When the kitchen runs out of a food item, the cooks send out an ‘out of stock’ message, which will be displayed on the dining room terminals when waiters try to order that item. This gives the waiters faster feedback, enabling them to give better service to the customers. Other system features aid management in the planning and control of their restaurant business..

Case Study on Borders Group: The Single Dumbest Investment We Ever Made

Due to our disciplined value investing philosophy, coupled with our insistence upon diversification of income and assets, we haven’t experienced a lot of big losses. When we do, we try and study what went wrong so we can understand if there was a structural problem or a blind spot in our mental cognition that should be avoided in the future. We never want to have to “return to Go” in Monopoly terms. That is just intelligent portfolio management.

Borders Group Case Study

On the whole, we’ve done almost everything right. There were a few mis-steps along the way, but they were all small relative to total capital. In our regular portfolio, the single biggest loss in percentage terms was our position in Borders Group, the nation’s second largest book retailer. I’d love to blame someone else but the bottom line is, the error was and is completely and totally mine. The screw-up was royally huge. I just didn’t move fast enough, or rather, sat around “sucking my thumb” as Charlie Munger would say. Click here to read more…

A Case Study of Management Information System (MIS)


MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR BUS SAFETY

To assist you in developing your management information system (MIS), this publication follows two fictitious bus operators, one large and one small, as they prepare their own MIS. This will highlight what your processes need to address in order to comply with the new safety regulations.

You are encouraged to read the case studies in order to gain an understanding of the basic requirements in developing an MIS. You should then rework and cultivate the knowledge to suit your own business needs. Your MIS needs to be designed to complement and enhance your organisation’s safety culture.

When the kitchen runs out of a food item, the cooks send out an ‘out of stock’ message, which will be displayed on the dining room terminals when waiters try to order that item.

The system provides up-to-the-minute information on the food items ordered and breaks out percentages showing sales of each item versus total sales. This helps management plan menus according to customers’ tastes.

The system also compares the weekly sales totals versus food costs, allowing planning for tighter cost controls. In addition, whenever an order is voided, the reasons for the void are keyed in. This may help later in management decisions, especially if the voids consistently related to food or service. Acceptance of the system by the users is exceptionally high since the waiters and waitresses were involved in the selection and design process. All potential users were asked to give their impressions and ideas about the various systems available before one was chosen. Click here to read more…
