Reservation
System
Abstract
A software program called the Restaurant Reservation System was created to make it easier for restaurants to manage bookings effectively.
The system's goals are to make it easier to reserve tables, keep track of available table capacity, and guarantee that patrons and restaurant
employees have a pleasant dining experience.
The core components of the system include the following:
•Reservation Management: Customers can use the system to make bookings by entering their contact information, the number of visitors,
and their names. It guarantees that bookings are made within the parameters of the restaurant's capacity and allows available tables according
to the needs of the patrons.
•Table Management: The restaurant table numbers, seating capacity, and reservation status are all stored in a database that is managed by the
system. When a reservation is verified, tables can be dynamically designated as reserved; once guests have finished eating, they can be
released.
•User Interface: The system features an easy-to-use interface with buttons to view and make new bookings as well as to stop the program. It
ensures user-friendliness by guiding consumers through the reservation process.
•Display of Reservations: The ability of the system to show the available bookings enables restaurant employees to effectively control the
flow of patrons. Table allocation can be planned and optimized with the help of this functionality.
By lowering overbooking, raising customer happiness, and streamlining the reservation management procedure, this restaurant reservation
system increases the restaurant's operational effectiveness. It also provides the framework for additional improvements like managing
waitlists, changing reservations, and managing several restaurant locations.
By offering a dependable and user-friendly solution for managing reservations, the Restaurant Reservation System benefits the hospitality
sector and eventually improves the eating experience for both patrons and restaurant employees.

Model design
Model Design for Restaurant Reservation System:
Classes:
1.Table:
Attributes:
• tableNumber (int): The unique identifier for each table.
• capacity (int): The maximum number of guests the table can accommodate.
• reserved (int): Flag indicating whether the table is reserved or not.
Methods:
• reserveTable(int numGuests): Marks the table as reserved if it can accommodate the given number of guests.
2.Reservation:
Attributes:
• name (char[MAX_NAME_LENGTH]): The name of the person making the reservation.
• numGuests (int): The number of guests for the reservation.
• contactNumber (char[MAX_CONTACT_LENGTH]): The contact number of the person making the reservation.
Methods:
• displayReservation(): Displays the details of a reservation.
3.UserInterface:
Methods:
• displayMenu(): Displays the menu options for the restaurant
reservation system.
• getUserChoice(): Gets the user's choice from the menu.
4.Restaurant:
Attributes:
tables (array of Table): An array of Table objects representing restaurant tables.
reservations (array of Reservation): An array of Reservation objects representing reservations.
reservationCount (int): The count of reservations made.
numTables (int): The total number of tables in the restaurant.
Methods:
initializeTables(): Initializes the tables in the restaurant by taking user input for table capacities.
findAvailableTable(int numGuests): Finds an available table that can accommodate the given number of guests.
makeReservation(): Allows users to make reservations, interacting with Table and Reservation objects.
displayReservations(): Displays the list of existing reservations.
Implementation
Header Inclusions:
#include <stdio.h> These lines include standard C libraries for input/output
#include <string.h> operations (stdio.h) and string manipulation (string.h).
findAvailableTable Function:
int findAvailableTable(struct Table tables[], int numTables, int
numGuests) {
for (int i = 0; i < numTables; ++i) { This function is used to find an available table that can accommodate a
if (!tables[i].reserved && tables[i].capacity >= given number of guests. It iterates through the array of tables and checks
numGuests) { if a table is not reserved and has sufficient capacity for the requested
return i; number of guests.
}
}
return -1; // No available table
}
makeReservation Function:
void makeReservation(struct Reservation reservations[], int* count, struct
Table tables[], int numTables) {
//Check Reservation Limit:
if (*count >= MAX_RESERVATIONS) {
printf("Sorry, the restaurant is fully booked.\n");
return;}
//Collect Reservation Details:
struct Reservation reservation;
printf("Enter your name: ");
scanf(" %49s", reservation.name); // Read a single word This function allows users to make reservations. It collects reservation
printf("Enter number of guests: "); details from the user, checks for an available table using
scanf("%d", &reservation.numGuests); findAvailableTable, marks the table as reserved, and stores the reservation
printf("Enter contact number: "); details in the reservations array.
scanf(" %14s", reservation.contactNumber); // Limit input length
//Find an Available Table:
Check Reservation Limit:
int tableIndex = findAvailableTable(tables, numTables,
reservation.numGuests); Collect Reservation Details:
//Make Reservation or Display Error: Find an Available Table:
if (tableIndex != -1) { Make Reservation or Display Error:
tables[tableIndex].reserved = 1;
reservations[*count] = reservation;
(*count)++;
printf("Reservation confirmed at Table %d. Thank you!\n",
tables[tableIndex].tableNumber);
} else {
printf("Sorry, no available table for %d guests.\n",
reservation.numGuests);
}}
displayReservations Function:
void displayReservations(struct Reservation reservations[], int count) {
printf("\nReservations:\n");
printf("Name\t\tGuests\tContact Number\n"); This function is used to display existing reservations stored in the
for (int i = 0; i < count; ++i) { reservations array.
printf("%s\t%d\t%s\n", reservations[i].name,
reservations[i].numGuests, reservations[i].contactNumber);
}
}
main Function:
int main() {
struct Reservation reservations[MAX_RESERVATIONS];
struct Table tables[MAX_TABLES];
int reservationCount = 0; The main function is the program's entry point. It does the
int numTables;
printf("Enter the number of tables in the restaurant: "); following:
scanf("%d", &numTables); • Declares arrays to store reservations and tables and initializes
initializeTables(tables, numTables); some variables.
int choice;
• Initializes restaurant tables using the initializeTables function.
do {
printf("\nRestaurant Reservation System\n"); • Presents a menu to the user, allowing them to make a
printf("1. Make Reservation\n"); reservation, view reservations, or exit the program.
printf("2. View Reservations\n"); • Uses a do-while loop to repeatedly handle user input until the
printf("3. Exit\n");
printf("Enter your choice: ");
user chooses to exit.
scanf("%d", &choice); • The switch statement inside the loop directs the program's
switch (choice) { behavior based on the user's choice. The program provides a
case 1: simple interactive interface for restaurant reservation
makeReservation(reservations, &reservationCount,
tables, numTables); management.
break;
case 2:
displayReservations(reservations, reservationCount);
break;
case 3:
printf("Exiting the program. Thank you!\n");
break;
default:
printf("Invalid choice. Please try again.\n");
}
} while (choice != 3);
return 0;
}
Output
