ABSTRACT

The purpose of this research is making an ordering food application based on

Android with New Order, Reception, and Order Status, Tracking customer address, and
Setting other features. The research method used in this research is water model of
System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method with following phases: requirement
definition, analyzing and determining the features needed in developing application and
making the detail definition of each features, system and software design, designing the
flow of developing application by using storyboard design, user experience design,
Unified

Modeling

Language

(UML)

design,

and

database

structure

design,

implementation an unit testing, making database and translating the result of designs to
programming language code then doing unit testing, integration and System testing,
integrating unit program to one unit system then doing system testing, operation and
maintenance, operating the result of system testing and if any changes and reparations
needed then the previous phases could be back. The result of this research is an ordering
food application based on Android for customer and delivery driver user, and a web app
for restaurant and admin user. The conclusion of this research is to help customer in
making order easily, to give detail information needed by customer, to help restaurant in
receiving order accurate address with Google address with best routs, and to help while
doing delivery.
