ABSTRACT
This paper presents detailed information on the Mess Management System. The main aim of the mess is to provide
clean and fresh food to the students/employees of the organization. In Today s world the entire Mess Management
and costing calculations are done manually till date. It is very time consuming & increases the chances of
performing calculation mistakes. Thus, there arises a need to create software that will make the entire Mess
Management an automated system. This software will be useful to any schoo l/college hostel or in general to any
institute maintaining a mess.
Each hostel, school or office have a mess hall for providing food to its members. The main aim behind this project is
to get the current status of mess & meals per day, to manage details regarding the stocks of vegetables, groceries and
purchasing based on daily fluctuating rates. The software also provides the costing and monthly calculations of each
item used. The software has five stores in which the entire stock is maintained. Each store contains a particular set of
items like items which are required daily, miscellaneous items, vegetables, grains etc.
In the software we are maintaining the entire detail of the cadets. It also includes options such as adding the cadet
information, deleting the cadet information. The delete option also asks for specification, whether to delete the entire
batch or to delete a particular cadet information. We are also providing the page link through which current market rates
can be known. The software also includes a standard diet chart. Besides information about the cadets, information of
the staff working in the mess is also maintained The software also includes an option for backup and restore. In this
option backup of the entire software information can be stored in the database, if in case the data gets lost we can
retrieve the lost data from the database. There is also a help option in which we are providing the guidelines of how
to use the software.This project can be merged with any major projects where meals and their monthly calculations
need to be done. Also it has a facility to maintain a database of all the students. The main feature of this project is at
the end of each month a hardcopy or receipt of the total expenditure will be generated. This software can be used in
general in any institution, hotels, canteen, etc which is maintaining a mess. Another feature is that as soon as a batch
of students passes out their database can be stored in any external storage device.
