IT Project Management Sample Project One

 

Restaurant Project

 

Background

The Coach House is one of the oldest restaurants established located in Scottsdale, AZ. It is a small restaurant/bar that can hold a maximum occupancy of 300 people. The owner, Jim Brower, is looking to upgrade his restaurant to offer state of the art IT services. Some of the specific items that Jim is looking to implement include the following:

 

Computerized ordering system that downloads into a database

Security Cameras that can be viewed on a private Internet address

Table-to-table wireless messaging along with game playing(ie trivia)

Other items that Jim would like to see available at each table include a monitor that allows for the following:

* selectable "news" pages (CNN, USA Today, etc.)

* sports scores

            * polling/voting

* cigarette (cigar) ordering(!) -- extra sales opportunity (also, sponsorship/advertising opportunities)

·         "Call a taxi" requests -- put in time, name & destination

 

This project requires you to analyze the current traditional methods of operations and determine the proper necessary technology needed to create these improvements. In addition, you will want to consider training and capital requirements as well as a reasonable timeline for implementation.
