Introduction
This assignment is about writing a professional business document for a web based mobile application. This application will be named as ‘Dinning Closely’ which will be based onGPS (Global Positioning System) that identify the nearby locations of the user’s current location in order to display the results of nearest restaurants along with its details like price, type, menu etc. to the user. This document will be a software requirement specification that will be made by a business analyst of the StarSoft Pvt. Ltd. Company situated in Melbourne. In this report the things that will be discussed are the purpose, scope, constraints, and assumptions, functional and non-functional requirements, and involved stakeholders, project schedule in terms of time, quality, risks, cost and milestones
Purpose
The purpose of this assignment is to develop a web based mobile application that can help the people to search nearby restaurant’s location from the user current location. The main objective is to help people who do not have idea about the good restaurants in their surroundings. Melbourne is such a vast city so it probably impossible to the user even to know the restaurants in its locality because we don’t know that exists because of its less popularity. This help will also help people who are new to the city and do not know much about the city. That person can easily use this app by downloading it from playstore and can find restaurants in a minute and can enjoy his meal to the nearest restaurant.
The main advantage or purpose of this proposed software is to save user’s time by checking the table availability and allowing them to order online. User canprovide its arrival time via app and then later visit the restaurant so that he need not to stand in a long queue or wait for your order to come.
Scope
The scope of this assignment is that it is restrict to only restaurant based and showing restaurant details. It do not identify the hotels as this also may fall in this category. This application will be android based and won’t run on iOS platforms. The version must be KitKat and above as it won’t run on below this version because some of the functionalities will not be supported by lower version. The total budget of this entire application will be $100k and the time duration will be 6 months.

Constraints
The project constraints are similar to the scopethat it is restrict to only restaurant based and showing restaurant details. It do not identify the hotels as this also may fall in this category. This application will be android based and won’t run on iOS platforms. The version must be KitKat and above. The total budget of this entire project will be $100k and the time duration will be 6 months. The project won’t afford the budget beyond that and the duration is also fixed so work must be done to its entirety within its given specifications and timeline scheduled.
Assumptions
1. It is assumed that the target audience of this app will be android users and not the Apple ones.
2. It will be free to download and is available on Playstore.
3. The platform used will be Android, KitKat version and above
4. As per demographics, all categories of users can use this app and is not specific to gender, religion, race or location
5. It is assumed that the estimated time of this app from start till the deployment will be 6 months. (+/-5 days)
6. The target audience are food lovers and restaurant owners
7. It is assumed that the website will have three panels, one will be the app (for mobile user), and will be a web dashboard handled by ‘Dinning closely’ admin through which he can manage his users( app users and registered restaurant owners) and the last one is the web portal where restaurant owners will register by providing their details
8. Payment mode can be credit card/debit card/online banking etc.
9. It is assumed that if user cancels his order then 15% will be deducted from his refund amount
10. IT is assumed that app will have a high tech including splash screen and a databasehaving great etc. that will be attracting to users
11. Several offers and discounts will be provided via app to its users
Requirements
Every application is built on the basis of its functional and nonfunctional requirements and they are:
Functional Requirements
1. The system must identify nearby restaurant locations
2. The system must identify user’s current location
3. User can order online and book a table and pay through provided payment modes
4. Restaurant owner register themselves using a web based system(web portal or website)
5. Searching functionality will be there and desired result will get displayed
6. The admin will handle and manage the information of restaurant owners and users
7. Admin adds GPS location of the registered restaurant into the database
8. User can navigate to the desired location through GPS navigator software installed in his mobile phone.
Non-Functional Requirements
Nonfunctional requirements tell that how your system must perform and be consistent while performing the functional requirements. The proposed application’s NFR is:
1. Usability
The application must be tested before announcing it to the marketplace. Every module must be tested from the usability perspective. It must be easy to access and should be understandable.
2. Reliability
The proposed application must be trustworthy. The users should be able to reply on this application without thinking twice. In short even after several years, the data must be retained even after several updating.
3. Performance
The application must perform up to the mark i.e. its response time must be feasible that it do not frustrate the user. The developer have to identify the peak time and stress loads and develop the application accordingly.
4. Supportability
The application must be cost effective and supporting documents must be develop for each level such as user manuals, technical document and test document including test cases.
5. Security
A. Data storage
The application must not display the user’s password or credit card details. The database password of the system must be encrypted and should have access only to authenticated administrators.
B. Data transfer
The user’s information travels through internet must be secured via SSL encryption methods and the user/owners must logged out from the application or dashboard/website after a specific period of time if kept inactive.
Others
Technical functionality
1. All the data will be store on the web server
2. Internet connectivity is must (Wi-Fi is preferable)
3. Application will be developed in Android and dashboard and web portal in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHPand the database will be MYSQL Server
Stakeholders
The stakeholders of any organization or a project can be defined as the people who are involved in the project or directly or indirectly has an impact from the project. The stakeholders of “Dinning closely” project are:
1. IT team (Business analyst, developer (android and web)) –The business analyst will indulge in identifying project requirements, resources and tools whereas the developed will develop the project
2. Company Owner-He is benefitted as he received payment for the developed project as well as get recognition that the app was developed by them
3. Marketing Team-Marketing team client’s company will set the strategies for the marketing purpose. Each app download will count which inturns increase sales of the client’s company
4. End User-The user will get the benefits to book a table online
5. Restaurant owners- The app will increase the reachability of the restaurants and increase the count of users at their restaurant
