2. Functional Requirements
- Room Availability Management:
- View room availability by date, time, and room type.
- Update room statuses (e.g., available, occupied, under maintenance).
- Manage room details (e.g., room type, capacity, amenities).
- Booking Management:
- Allow users to search and book rooms based on criteria (e.g., date, time, room type).
- Enable users to modify or cancel existing bookings.
- Send booking confirmations and reminders via email or SMS.
Advertisement - User Management:
- User registration and login.
- Manage user profiles and permissions (e.g., guest, admin).
- Track user booking history and preferences.
- Payment Processing:
- Integrate with payment gateways for booking payments.
- Handle billing and invoicing for bookings.
- Manage refunds and cancellations, if applicable.
- Reporting and Analytics:
- Generate reports on room occupancy rates, booking trends, and financial performance.
- Provide data visualization tools (e.g., charts, graphs) for better insights.
3. Non-Functional Requirements
- Usability: Intuitive user interface for easy navigation and booking.
- Performance: Efficient handling of booking requests and real-time availability updates.
- Security: Secure handling of user data and payment information.
- Scalability: Ability to handle an increasing number of rooms, users, and bookings.
- Reliability: High system uptime and robustness to ensure consistent availability.
4. Technology Stack
- Front-End: Technologies for the user interface (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, frameworks like React or Angular).
- Back-End: Server-side technologies (e.g., Node.js, Django, Flask).
- Database: Database management system (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB).
- Payment Processing: Integration with payment gateways (e.g., Stripe, PayPal).
- Deployment: Hosting and deployment platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, Heroku).
5. System Design
- Architecture: Overview of system architecture (e.g., client-server model, microservices).
- Data Model: Design of the database schema, including tables for rooms, bookings, users, and payments.
- User Interface Design: Wireframes or mockups for different user roles (e.g., guests, administrators).
6. Implementation Plan
- Development Phases: Breakdown of phases (e.g., requirement analysis, design, development, testing, deployment).
- Timeline: Project milestones and deadlines.
