A local cake shop has seen a recent surge in business and it has asked you to help design a system to manage the orders. The shop currently has the capacity to make up to 4 cakes per day and a cake can be stored up to 3 days prior to an event. To avoid last minute disasters, the shop will always make cakes at least 1 day prior to the event. The shop currently has the capacity to store up to 10 cakes. Standard policy is to block out 2 hours for delivery and setup at each event. The shop currently does not have the staff to handle more than one event at a time.
Design a system that will manage customer orders and event scheduling. Consider all of the factors listed in your design carefully. Sketch a user interface that will show all of the pertinent information to the cake shop employees. Design a flow chart and pseudocode that demonstrates how the system will manage the orders and inventory.
