The food service operators must adopt technology as more than simply a cost of doing

business. They must view it as a tool to help them attain their strategic business
objective.
Due to the limited resources and time, companies must wisely choose to invest in the
projects that match their business and economic goals. Therefore, the feasibility study is
an integral part during the planning phase of the system development life cycle (SDLC).
Phase 1: Planning
The planning phase involves establishing a high-level plan of the intended project and
determining project goals. The system is carried out in accordance with the objectives of
the proposed system.

During the Planning, we understand why the system should be built and define
its requirement. Also, we consider the several different perspectives, technical,
economical and organization feasibility aspects. The outcome of the technical
feasibility study is to define the various technical approaches that can be followed
to implement the project successfully with minimum risks.

Phase 2: Analysis
It involves analyzing end-user business requirements and refining project goals into
defined functions and operations of intended system.
The results of this analysis are used in making the decision whether to proceed with the
project or not.
Survey method:
- Questionnaire survey, the goal of the questionnaire survey was to know

Interview

This methods used during the project phase shows how a business would operate
under set of technology used, facilities and equipment.
Phase 3: Design
Involves describing and desired features and operations of the system.
Phase 4: Development
It involves taking all of the detailed design documents from the design phase and
transforming them into the actual system.
Phase 5: Testing
A test run of the system is done removing all the bugs, and errors if any. It is an
important phase of a successful system. The two primary activities involved are:
1. Write the test conditions
2. Perform the system testing
Phase 6: Implementation
It involves placing the system into production so users can begin to perform actual
business operations with the system.
Phase 7: Maintenance
It involves performing changes, corrections, additions, and upgrades to ensure the
system continues to meet the business goals. This phase continues for the life of the
system because the system must change as the business evolves and its need change.
After having the user acceptance of the new system developed, the major steps
involved in this phase are:
