The purpose of the thesis was to produce a web application for ordering food (pizzas) online. The thesis mainly focuses on providing the most effective sales possible. For that reason we built a special mechanism for automatic categorisation of pizzas in different categories, which combined with data on a user's past purchases provided a selection of the most appropriate pizzas for that specific user.
The first part of the thesis describes the technologies and tools used. In developing the application PHP scripting language and other online technologies were used (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, AJAX and SQL), as well as libraries and tools (jQuery, Twitter Bootstrap and others). MySQL database was used for data storage.
The second part describes the development of the web application from the idea, design and production to the use of the final product. The website is composed of a fore-end and back-end part of the web application, which enables different types of users to use the website. It is built in such a way that it is responsive to different screen widths. The thesis in detail describes the algorithm for pizza categorisations and suggestions, which is the main advantage of the application.
The final part provides a comparison of the website with similar websites, an analysis of the application and concludes with an overview of the work done, the main problem in development and the idea for future work.
