Mr Dliale achieved his lifelong dream when he opened his own restaurant, The Macaron. The restaurant has been open for 12 months and has proved to be very popular. Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic struck internationally and the pressure of the lockdown has weighed heavily on the restaurant. Mr Dliale have been forced to quickly come up with new adaptations of menus, points of service, delivery and takeout models that better serve local communities just to keep the lights on. Mr Dliale and you attended university together. He contacted you with questions about the computerisation of his operations. Your initial enquiries have revealed the following:  The restaurant employs two cashiers, five permanent waiting staff, a barman and a second chef (to fill in on the nights when Mr Dliale is off duty).  For take away food and drinks orders are recorded on pre-numbered order pads. Each waitress has her own unique sequence pre-numbered order pads.  On completion of their meal, customers are required to proceed to the cashier and quote their order number. The cashier then rings up the cost of the meal using a copy of the waitress's completed order form. The cash register is situated at the exit point. Mr Dliale has identified the Ikentoo software package as the most appropriate for the restaurant’s needs. He has indicated that he is planning to replace the current cash register with a computer terminal linked to a cash drawer and to install a terminal in his office which will be used for recording all other accounting activities. 2.1 Describe the controls that Mr Dliale should implement to restrict access to the sales and computerised accounting applications.
