New online reservation system for restaurants that will have two parts.
Booking online from restaurants Web site and bookings from
Directory Web site where guest can choose by cities, cuisines and other categories.
This directory Web site does not exist yet, but restaurants have already agreed to the testing of booking on their POS computers.
We think that the whole system might be developed in stages,
but welcome suggestions and contructive ideas from the coders.
The buyers should own the final system including its printed source code. The prospective coders should also indicate their willignes to support and provide upgrades, when necessary and under what conditions.
The directory Web site should be fully expandable, searchable, search engine friendly set up and each restaurant have its information page. The Web site should be created independently of the booking system.
## Deliverables
