Mobile based transactions are among some of the fastest growing areas in Information Technology today. The growth introduces diverse opportunities more particularly in supply and distribution of goods and services under the wider umbrella of m-commerce since many consumers would benefit by having a means of making orders using their mobile devices. A major common problem facing typical ordering systems in restaurants is that customers queue for long hours in restaurants or wait for a long time so that their food can be prepared. In order to solve this problem, a solution that is used for food ordering has been developed and it makes the process of placing orders more efficient for customers, restaurant managers and chefs. The development applied an Object-Oriented Analysis and Design. Through using this solution, it has been found that customers and restaurant operators can benefit from a seamless ecosystem concerning the processing of orders to restaurants. The time taken to place and process orders has been significantly reduced.
