Question

BIS 636 Becky’s Bakery is a small business that specializes in cakes (wedding, birthday, etc), pies, doughnuts and other confections. Some items are kept “in stock” in a display at the front of the store so customers can purchase what they want and take it right then, or customers can order cakes and other items for special events; to be delivered or picked up at a later date. Currently when an order is placed, it is written on paper and stored in a filing cabinet by date. Each day, the bakers go through the folders looking for what needs to be baked for the next day. They pull those orders and take them to the kitchen. There, they look-up each recipe they need, get the ingredients necessary and proceed to bake the items. Once an item is baked, it is sent to the decorators (if it needs to be decorated) or to packers who box the items. When all items for an order have been completed, the order is given to a delivery driver who loads them into a truck in order of the destinations and who then delivers them. The driver gets a signature from a responsible party noting that the items have been delivered. They then return to the bakery and file the signed order as complete. Becky’s Bakery would like to replace their paper system with an electronic one. They not only want to reduce paper, but want to be able to have automatic inventory, pricing and reporting.
