Shawn owner of a small hotel has asked that a new online-based application be built that would permit potential visitors to make a room reservation, indicating the dates and type of room- they want. The system is supposed to distinguish already registered customers to speed up the process; else, they must register as a new client. Each reservation is given a reservation ID or code. Before clients checking into the hotel, they may enter the reservation ID to alter or cancel their reservation. The changes might include changing the dates, room number or type, or the number of visitors per room. The administrator must use the reservation ID to check the client in when they arrive. The same ID is supposed to be used by the proposed system when the clients check-out to record their payment. An electronic printed invoice must be generated to the client's email. The system must allow the hotel manager to view reports for a specified time range. Shawn has approached you as a systems analyst to assist in the preliminary investigation of the project.
