 1. Problem Statement

Simple Menu Item Taker

The problem addressed by the provided project code is to create a simple menu item taker system that allows
users to view a menu, place orders for food items with specified quantities, add new items to the menu, and
receive a notification when the order is ready.

2. Methodology / Procedure/ Algorithm

Menu Display and Modification:

Order Placement:
Enable users to place orders by selecting items from the menu.
For each selected item, users can specify the quantity they want to order.

Order Calculation:
Calculate the total cost of the order based on the selected items and quantities.

Order Notification
Notify users that their order is being prepared.
Introduce a delay of 3 seconds to simulate order preparation time.
Play a sound to further indicate that the order is ready.

User Interaction:
Allow users to interact with the system through a simple menu-driven interface.
Provide options to view the menu, place orders, add items to the menu, and exit the system.

menu[new_item] = new_price

print(f"{new_item} added to the menu with a price of ${new_price:.2f}")

display_menu():
Displays the menu with item names and prices.

order_food(order):
Facilitates the ordering process by allowing users to select items and specify quantities.
Appends the selected items, their prices, and quantities to the order list.

calculate_total(order):
Calculates the total cost of the order based on the selected items and quantities.

add_item_to_menu():
Allows users to add new items to the menu with their respective prices.

notify_order_ready():
Notifies users that their order is being prepared.
Introduces a 3-second delay to simulate order preparation time.
Plays a sound to indicate that the order is ready.

main():
The main function orchestrating the overall flow of the program.
Accepts user input and directs the flow based on the chosen options.

7. Conclusion

The provided project code implements a simple menu item taker system with functionalities such as viewing
the menu, placing orders, adding items to the menu, and receiving notifications. The system uses a menu-
driven approach, allowing users to interact easily. The addition of a sound notification and a delay before
order readiness enhances the user experience. The code serves as a foundation for a basic restaurant order
management system and can be extended for more complex functionalities in future iterations.
