Hottel System Requirements Document

Introduction

The purpose of this document is to outline the system requirements for the "Hottel" project, which involves the development of a website for a hotel restaurant. This document will serve as a guide for the development team to ensure that all user needs and expectations are met.

System Overview

The Hottel project aims to create a user-friendly and visually appealing website for a hotel restaurant. The website will provide information about the restaurant, menu offerings, reservation capabilities, and contact details. It will cater to both local and international customers, considering locale-specific defaults such as currency in INR and timezone settings for India.

Functional Requirements as Story Points

• As a Customer, I should be able to make a reservation through the website.
• As a Customer, I should be able to contact the restaurant via a contact form.
• As a Customer, I should be able to view the restaurant's location on a map.
• As a Customer, I should be able to read reviews and ratings of the restaurant.
• As an Admin, I should be able to update the menu items on the website.

• As an Admin, I should be able to respond to customer inquiries received via the contact form.

User Personas

• Customer: Individuals looking to dine at the hotel restaurant, both local and international.
• Admin: Restaurant staff responsible for managing the website content and customer interactions.

Core User Flows

• Customer visits the website -> views menu -> makes a reservation -> receives confirmation.
• Customer visits the website -> reads reviews -> decides to visit the restaurant.
• Admin logs into the website -> updates menu items -> saves changes.

Signature Design Concept

The Hottel website will feature an interactive homepage that resembles a bustling restaurant scene. Using @react-three/fiber and @react-three/drei, the homepage will present a 3D model of a dining area where users can click on tables to view detailed menu items and make reservations. Hovering over different sections will reveal animated dish descriptions and chef recommendations. This immersive experience will make users feel as if they are exploring the restaurant in person.

Interaction Model & Motion Direction

The landing page will utilize a "parallax" interaction model, creating a layered depth effect as users scroll through the site. Decorative elements such as floating food items and ambient lighting will move at different speeds to enhance the storytelling aspect. Internal pages will maintain a "static" interaction model for clarity and ease of navigation.

Non-Functional Requirements

• The website should load within 3 seconds on standard broadband connections.
• The website must be accessible and usable on both desktop and mobile devices.
• The website should comply with WCAG 2.1 accessibility standards.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React for Web
• Backend: Python, FastAPI
• Database: MySQL
• Local Orchestration: Docker, docker-compose
• Server-side Orchestration: Kubernetes

Assumptions and Constraints

• The website will primarily target users in India, with INR as the default currency.
• The website must be hosted on a reliable server with a 99.9% uptime guarantee.
• The design must be responsive to accommodate various screen sizes.

Glossary

• INR: Indian Rupee, the currency used in India.
• WCAG: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, a set of recommendations for making web content more accessible.
• Parallax: A scrolling technique where background images move slower than foreground images, creating an illusion of depth.
