Statement of the Problem

Introduction:

Black Lady Nightclub is small Nightclub/ restaurant situated in the busy Seven Sisters Road on the junction of Hornsey Road in Kilburn. Ms Grace Elone runs it. The Black Lady Night Club is a small unique entertainment for the general public, however the club is expanding with more customers joining every day. At the beginning the Black Lady Nightclub was small enough Ms Elone to keep the clubs account manually, however it is expanding and Mr Elone would prefer it if she had a system that would handle the company’s data flow.

Also although there is less doubling up on work, there is more work to assign to the new members of staff because there is more work to do.

Unfortunately this way of ordering has proven to be a problem in the past, because the order form hasn’t got there on time or there was a strike happening with the post. Another problem they have problem with ordering though the phone and mail they have found that it wastes a lot of time because they are constantly looking up the codes in the ordering books when ordering.

Also the club Mrs Elone has a file on the members, but all this is done manually and the member’s information is not kept on a database.
