Click Get started, then use Proto to configure Cafeteria Management System for your business. Begin with a diner group, a dining area and a dated meal rate. Rehearse booking confirmation, the final account and cleaning inspection with the staff who will run the service.

Record the diner, dining area, serve date, service end date, diner count and rate per meal. The booking connects the group to its counter activity, service tasks and financial account.

Confirmation compares the diner count with the selected area’s seating capacity and rechecks overlapping service dates while the area is locked. An Available status does not remove those checks.

The confirmation interval includes the serve date and excludes the service end date. Agree that date interpretation during setup and rehearse adjacent bookings as well as a genuine overlap before using the process with live requests.

Dated rate plans carry the area type, rate per meal and minimum meals. The Property Manager uses the agreed plan-selection procedure when preparing the booking’s rate and checks the effective period before confirmation.

Yes. Counter bookings and charges reference the parent meal booking. The authorized capture and charge actions validate the source context so the final account can include the correct activity.

No. A pending receipt needs its own confirmation evidence. Service completion requires the account to be reconciled against confirmed payments or an outstanding balance to be explicitly acknowledged through the authorized process.

The Operations Reviewer checks eligible source evidence before posting. The Finance Officer prepares financial drafts and follows the guarded charge process. Counter booking access alone does not grant financial editing or approval authority.

After service, the area enters Cleaning. Assigned work is completed and the service inspection must pass before the Operations Reviewer authorizes release. A Completed task alone is insufficient.

Inspect the existing source case and operation result before submitting more work. The confirmation and seating actions use operation identity to recognize repeated input, and recovery should preserve the evidence of what actually happened.
