WPF Restaurant application Demo

[WildSketchbook]

WTF WPF ? Amazing work !

Could you explain how you make the login window's animation ?

[ait1988]

Order 22 : It's auto update to show on Kitchen User by not click Refresh

(at 4:10 - 4:12)

how did that?

[mahmas01]

Hi mate excellent work I love this video and have watched it many times I have a question if you don't mind answering, I am working on a similar logistics project where I have to develop an offline Pocket PC functionality, did you created your pocket PC app in Silver-light? or its a standard .net compact win forms?

[AliDaneshmandi]

@mahmas01 It's a compact framework application.

[DelBiss]

Don't seem to be usefull in reality. It should be think to be use with a touch screen. And the information more in your face. I would not use that in my restaurant. Check "Maitre D"

[tenacious1884]

amazing work mate, how much time took you this project?

[AliDaneshmandi]

@tenacious1884 Thanks. It took almost 4 months.

[rei61085]

Nice, but too many ways to go, is this a management software.

[jescobarospina]

I think it is great way to send email and chat

afarin ali jan. movafagh bashi :)

[UTMax22]

just curious why waiter and as well as kitchen user need to refresh their views...shouldnt they be updated proactively,,, ??

[AliDaneshmandi]

@UTMax22 In addition to manual refresh button, automatic refresh takes place every some-seconds regularly. 

[mmhamed1]

wonderful application :)

[KuruAyya]

Great Work !

[KuruAyya]

Great Work !

[cbtidball]

Very cool application; well done. Did you create the interface solely with WPF or did you use Silverlight?

[AliDaneshmandi]

@cbtidball Thanks. It was done solely with WPF.

[AliDaneshmandi]

@cbtidball Only WPF.

[MrDanClark]

Nice applications. You should try using the Windows 7 Phone SDK to develop the phone app. I assume it will be a faster experience then ;)

[AliDaneshmandi]

@MrDanClark Thanks.

Of course it will be. WP7 in compare to WM, is a deep ocean to lake from the graphical and UX point of view :)

Silverlight really rocks!

[AliDaneshmandi]

Thanks all for the comments and feedbacks, :)

[AliDaneshmandi]

@worktosser , @TheEnriha thanks for the comments.

The goal of this project for me was learning WPF and creating an Eye catching UI. I should clarify that it was not developed to work on a real restaurant because the processes came to my mind from my simple imagination, not hearing it from a restaurant domain expert. Thus such processes might not exist in a real restaurant or the ways doing them might be completely different.

I agree with all about the slowness of the Windows Mobile app.

[worktosser]

The reaction of the application is incredibly slow. The 'busy box with the 4 colors' stays up way too long. Is the future of computing?

How many times have you hear a customer service person say 'the system is slow today' or 'I'm just waiting for the computer'.

[brazentongue]

wow man, great job!

[TheEnriha]

THIS IS TOOOO LONG PROCESS i assume their manager , waiter interfaces wiil be placed different in real life for cutting out the extra time u know like different for manager alloting tables and customer placing thier own order with the waiter thing and instead of kitchen staff getting a hard copy soft copy wiill be circulaated and a recieved report from customer on the table will wrap things up for kithen staff

[zhangyinqian]

Hi ,my friend, I'm very glad to see your works. The gui is so beautiful .And I 'm learning wpf .  I want to do the startup gui,can you help me ? I need you code.

[MrApplseed]

Gah! I love this song! :D

[RogueDoctor]

can u make a tutorial on how do you make that app please

[GridShadowOne]

@jembhz You're right; in the real world, the waiter can't wait that long. However, he could probably find a way to apply the application (or principle for it) to help speed up restaurants. I worker in one; it can get really busy, really fast, and we'd be tripping over each other 'cause of the demands.

[AliDaneshmandi]

@jembhz Thanks. Yes, you are right. To be honnest, this is not commercial and I did it just for learning stuffs and doing my final project.

I would prefer each table in a restaurant have a fixed touchable inteface which let the customer do the order process.

[GridShadowOne]

@AliDaneshmandi Ever think of streamlining everything to an app that runs on the server, then stream the application to the mobile device? That's what I'd do. not a fan of centralization, but if it makes it run faster (and smoother), why not?

Anyhow, I'm wondering if you have any tips for writing the proposal and plan; I'm working on a warehouse/grid project myself... hate the paper work.

[jembhz]

Very nice man... but in the real world a waiter cannot take too long for creating an order, the system cannot take too long for loading the menu, in order to make it a competitive product (I'm talking about your software) it has to be as fast as hell... just a positive critic... regards

[AliDaneshmandi]

@jembhz Thanks. Yes, you are right. To be honnest, this is not commercial and I did it just for learning stuffs and doing my final project.

[wilfredogr]

Hi, your system works with stocks? If yes, can you put the video about it? Thnx. Good work.

[timmacky5]

A really nice looking gui. I'd wager however that its entirely unusable for the target demographic.

[AliDaneshmandi]

Thanks all for the feedbacks. :)

[beugnen]

@dan. you're very talented, not only do you use a wide range of modern, sensible and suitable technologies, but you also have a wonderful creative ability that allows you to produce pleasing to the eye user interfaces. well done!

[AliDaneshmandi]

@beugnen Thanks  for the comment.

[krisakiko]

wow your skills are pro...a bright future awaits you...keep up the good work

[berkut2006]

AW SO ME!!!!!

and THNX MICROSOFT FOR WPF! lol but thats realy cool tech... :)

[edugonch]

Excellent work, very nice, the only thing I can see is that the mobile interface is a little slow for a real restaurant.

But, the rest of the work is excellent, very very nice

[johnatkj]

Excellent project...how about sharing the source with the rest of us who are also in the learning process?

[vpklotar]

omg, very good, how did you make that?

[TheKRYPTONIANBLOOD]

Excellent project! : )

[dryokoi]

すごいね。

[pwnzoor]

very very nice :D good job!

[skamranhaider]

Great Work Ali :)

5 star work...

I love the idea, plus in your first try you are professional.

[stchristoph2000]

well thank you. I'm glad you like them. For your first try on WPF it was REAAAALLY good though. I'm just starting to learn C# atm so I really envy you a bit. Again. Awesome.

[stchristoph2000]

nice. I like the idea and the programming. Some minor tweaks and restaurants should really consider using it.

For example it would be nice to have "push" notification. So that you for example get a pop up or a small icon (as the waiter) indicating that food is ready for serving. Or a table map where the waiter doesn't have to know table number and can select the table on an image.

Good work.

[AliDaneshmandi]

@stchristoph2000

Thanks.Your ideas are nice. This project was my first try on WPF and I believe it needs some changes to be more productive and useful. Even though, there is some limitations on Windows Mobile to create much more effective UX, I think your ideas can be implemented.
