International Journal for Research in Engineering Application & Management (IJREAM) ISSN : 2454-9150 Vol-03, Issue 04, May 2017 67 | IJREAMV03I042825 www.ijream.org © 2017, IJREAM All Rights Reserved Abstract The system involves use of RFID technology along with GUI and database. This system is made with the objective to not rely on hard cash transactions or handling paper coupons for a month anymore, instead opt for digital money concept which could be well structured and stored in database. The beholder on tapping his/her RFID passive tag on RFID reader (EM-18) and entering correct password would be allowed to enter the system, wherein the menu of Canteen would be displayed. On selecting eatables via touchscreen the respective amount would be deducted from customer’s balance and new amount would be updated in database for further transactions. If customer wants to keep track of his/her monthly consumption of eatables from canteen then he/she can log in into their account with their unique ID provided and password (customer editable). If customer is out of money then he/she can get their account recharged from Administration Staff . The Administration Staff of the system would have highest level privileges like he/she could add/delete users, also add/delete administration in charge and would have information of every user on system. This system addresses the problem of handling coupons for months and reduce crowd in canteen counter. This system would also help the customer in keeping track of his eatables he/she did eat in past. Keywords — Arduino, RFID tag, EM-18, TFT display, Touchscreen, Visual Basic. I. INTRODUCTION 1 The advancement in technology has greatly influenced the business transactions. The adoption of digital technology has led to automation in the hospitality industry. Business in hospitality industry such as restaurants can be improved with the help of digital systems. This system aims to automate the food ordering process by incorporating the use of RFID tags as unique identity of the user and Visual basics as the database where the information of user will be stored. This system is made with the objective to not rely on hard cash transactions or handling paper coupons for a month anymore, instead opt for digital money concept which could be well structured and stored in database. The beholder on tapping his/her RFID passive tag on RFID reader (EM-18) and entering correct password would be allowed to enter the system, wherein the menu of Canteen would be displayed. On selecting eatables via touchscreen the respective amount would be deducted from customer’s balance and new amount would be updated in database for further transactions. If customer wants to keep track of his/her monthly consumption of eatables from canteen then he/she can log in through user login page with their unique ID provided and password (customer editable). If customer is out of money then he/she can get their account recharged from Administration Staff. The Administration Staff of the system would have highest level privileges like he/she could add/delete the users, also add/delete administration in charge and would have information of every user on system. The system does also consist of a touchscreen display at user side, so that it can be easily accessible by user to order by simply touching the display screen. This system addresses the problem of handling coupons for months and reduce crowd in canteen counter. This project would help the customer in keeping track of his eatables he/she did eat in past. II. REVISED WORK RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a method of identifying unique items using radio waves. Typical RFID systems are made up of three components: readers RFID Based Canteen Cashier System 1 Prashant Sharma, 2 Bibin Mathew, 3 Akshay Nambiar, 4 Namrata Shinde, 5 Ratnendra Rai 2 Assistant Professor, 1,3,4,5 UG Student, 1,2,3,4,5 St. John College of Engineering & Management, Palghar, Maharashtra, India. 1 getprashant777@gmail.com, 2 bibinm@sjcet.co.in, 3 akshaysnambiar95@gmail.com, 4 namratashinde@gmail.com, 5 ratnendrarai@gmail.com
