1. Although progress thus far has not followed the project schedule there have been six major steps completed Firstly the Login Screen was designed and the login coding was then done Second the Main Screen was designed with different components and sub menu buttons Thirdly the Combo Meals Sub Screen was designed and the order process from the Main Screen has been coded to display two items from the Combo Meals Sub Screen Fourthly the MERVILLE 3 Discount Menu was designed and coded to displayed discount for 1 coupon and 10 off Fifthly the Tender Screen was also designed and coded to accept cash for exact amount and 5 10 20 50 100 dollar bills Lastly the Logout buttons from the Main and Login Screens were coded to exit the system The Login Screen is without a doubt the master key of the software In order for an employee or a manager to be able to process an order he or she will need to log into the system If a user account has not been set up then he or she will not be able to access the Main Screen even to place an order Without the username and password the software would be useless for them Therefore the Login Screen coding was a major step to consider and accomplished The second major step was to design the Main Screen which plays an important role in the software This Main Screen can be considered as a reference point in the program This is the only screen that allows a user to connect to all th2.
