A comprehensive PHP-based system for streamlined restaurant and cafe operations, encompassing ordering, kitchen management, waiter services, menu, and inventory control.
URMS (Universal Restaurant Management System) is a web-based application designed to digitalize and optimize various aspects of restaurant and cafe management. Built with plain PHP, HTML, and CSS, it provides a straightforward solution for handling customer orders through a self-service kiosk, enabling waiters to manage tables and orders efficiently, offering kitchen staff a clear view of incoming orders, and allowing administrators to control menu items and inventory. This system aims to reduce manual errors, improve service speed, and provide better operational oversight.
- Customer Kiosk Ordering: Self-service interface for customers to browse the menu and place orders.
- Waiter Panel: Dedicated portal for waiters to manage tables, take new orders, update order statuses, and view customer requests.
- Kitchen Display System (KDS): Real-time display of new and in-progress orders for kitchen staff, facilitating efficient food preparation.
- Order Queue Display: A public-facing screen to show customers the status of their orders in a queue.
- Menu Management: An administrative interface to add, edit, or remove menu items, including descriptions and pricing.
- Inventory Management: Track and update stock levels for ingredients and menu items.
- Secure Login: Separate login portals for different user roles (e.g., waiters).
- Database Integration: Persistent storage for all operational data, including menu, orders, users, and inventory.

Follow these steps to get your URMS instance up and running on a local development environment.
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:
- Web Server: Apache or Nginx with PHP module enabled.
- PHP: Version 7.x or higher.
- Database Server: MySQL or MariaDB.
-
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/3limssmile/URMS.git cd URMS -
Place files on your web server Move all the project files into your web server's document root (e.g.,
/var/www/html/urms/for Apache or/usr/share/nginx/html/urms/for Nginx). -
Database setup
- Create a new MySQL/MariaDB database (e.g.,
restaurant).
CREATE DATABASE restaurant;
- Create a database user and grant privileges (optional, but recommended for production).
- Import your database schema.
mysql -u your_username -p restaurant < path/to/your/restaurant.sql
- Create a new MySQL/MariaDB database (e.g.,
-
Configure database connection Open
db_config.phpand update the database connection details with your credentials:<?php $servername = "localhost"; // Your database host $username = "your_db_username"; // Your database username $password = "your_db_password"; // Your database password $dbname = "restaurant"; // The database name you created ?>
-
Start your web server Ensure your Apache or Nginx web server is running.
# Example for Apache on Ubuntu/Debian sudo systemctl start apache2 -
Open your browser Visit
http://localhost/urms/(or the appropriate URL if deployed to a different path or domain).

The db_config.php file is crucial for establishing a connection to your MySQL/MariaDB database. Ensure the following variables are correctly set:
| Variable | Description | Example Value |
|---|---|---|
$servername |
Database host | localhost |
$username |
Database username | root |
$password |
Database password | mypassword |
$dbname |
Database name | restaurant |
To deploy this application to a production environment:
- Follow the Installation steps outlined above on your production web server.
- Ensure
db_config.phpuses production-ready database credentials and a secure database user. - For security, consider configuring your web server to hide sensitive files or restrict direct access to files that are not meant for public viewing (e.g.,
db_config.php). - Ensure proper file permissions are set on your server.
