PHP Web Biometric Canteen Access Control Software Main Modules
- Staff Registration
- User Registration
- Biometric Staff Identification
- Cafeteria ID System Administration
Staff Registration
This modules enables the Administrator of Biometric Cafeteria ID System to Register new Staff into the System. The Administrator should remember to check the Authorize check box for the user to be authorized to use the system otherwise this check box should be left unchecked if the Staff is not yet allowed to use the Cafeteria. After the Staff has been biometrically registered, a Virtual Meal Cardwith Tokens should be created for them so that they can be able to access the cafeteria facility where for every visit, they spend a token.


This module has two sub modules, i.e. Staff Registration and Edit Staff Particulars.
Staff Registration
Here is where a Staff particulars and biometric fingerprints data are captured and entered into Cafeteria Biometric ID System.
Edit Staff Particulars:
Here is where Administrator can make amendments to Staff Particulars previously entered.
User Registration
This module helps the Administrator of Cafeteria Biometric ID System to manage users of the System. Administrator is able to carry out User Registration via the User Registration Module and edit user details via Edit User Particulars module.
Biometric Staff Identification
This is the module that performs access control in the Cafeteria Biometric ID System. It determines the following;
- Is a Staff registered or not registered in the Cafeteria Biometric ID System? (Is the person presenting themselves at the cafeteria a Staff or not?)
- Is a Staff authorized or non-authorized? (Is the registered staff allowed to visit cafeteria and take meals or not?)
- Is the Virtual Meal Card Active or Expired? (Does the Staff’s Virtual Meal Card have allocated tokens or are the allocated tokens exhausted?)

The Programmer who gets this Source Code can modify this code to check for other things as may be required by their organization or their client. This bit is the core element module of Cafeteria Biometric ID System. Software developers will find it very easy to change and add new validation checks to it. It is a very straight forward piece of code.

After Biometric Identification of a Biometric Registered Staff who is Authorized to use the cafeteria and one who has an active Virtual Meal Card with available Tokens for use, Cafeteria Biometric ID System notifies the Staff or the remaining tokens available for them to use in a future date or notifies them if they have Exhausted their Tokens after which their Virtual Meal Card is automatically Expired. A staff is also notified if they are exceeding their allocated daily allowed tokens (e.g. one for 10 O’clock tea and another one for Lunch). Some organizations will want their staff only to visit their cafeteria only 2 times a day but a staff may try to pull along a visitor to the cafeteria and attempt to spend an extra token but then the system will restrict them to the 2 tokens allocated to them per day. This will prompt the staff to pay for the extra helping of serving for their visitor. (Programmer here can customize this bit to suit situations that apply their organization).
Cafeteria ID Administration

The Administration module is where the Administrator of Cafeteria Biometric ID System performs most of the vital function in this system with the help of the following four sub modules, i.e. Renew Card, Create Card, Activate Staff, Suspend Staff and User Roles.
Create Card
This module enables the Administrator of Cafeteria Biometric ID System to create a Virtual Meal Card for a Biometric Registered Staff who is Authorized to access Cafeteria. Basically what happens when a Virtual Card is created is that a Staff is allocated e.g. a number of tokens e.g. 40 tokens for Virtual Card NO. MAT455. The Staff needs not know about the Virtual Card NO, they only need to know the number of tokens they have remaining for them to spend.

Renew Card
When a Staff exhausts all their tokens, the Administrator of Cafeteria Biometric ID System can renew a Virtual Card for them by allocating them new tokens. This is the purpose of this module. Some organization offer meals to their employees at subsidized rates where employees are required to pay a certain amount every month to be able to access to their cafeteria. Employees are required to pay upfront so that they can be allowed to access the cafeteria. Here is where use of Virtual Cards come in handy instead of using papers and registers for records to note down when employees access a cafeteria.

Activate Staff
This module helps Administrator of Cafeteria Biometric ID System to Authorize a Registered Staff to be able to use Cafeteria.
Suspend Staff
This module helps Administrator of Cafeteria Biometric ID System to Suspend an Authorized Staff to stop accessing Cafeteria. This can be in situations like when a Staff’s employment contract is terminated by an organization or when they leave the organization e.g. when interns have finished serving their internship at an organization.
User Roles:
This module is for managing levels of user rights in the Cafeteria Biometric ID System. Only an Administrator of Cafeteria Biometric ID System should be able to access this module.
PHP Web Biometric Canteen Access Control Software Main Reports
- System Reports
- General Reports
- Other Reports
1. System Reports
Biometric Cafeteria ID’s System Reports has the following other sub reports. They are;
Registered Staff
From this report, the Administrator of Cafeteria Biometric ID System can retrieve all Registered Staff in Cafeteria Biometric ID System.
Authorized Staff
The Administrator is able to retrieve and view Biometric Registered Staff who are Allowed to Access Cafeteria. Staff even though biometrically registered, need to be granted access in the Cafeteria Biometric ID System before they can access the Cafeteria.
Non-Authorized Staff
These are staff who are Biometrically Registered Staff but are NOT Authorized to use the Cafeteria. Staff whose duties have been suspended or terminated can also be denied access to access Cafeteria from Cafeteria Biometric ID System. A Staff with an Active Meal Card can be unauthorized as is deemed necessary.
Active Meal Cards
This Report shows Virtual Cards for All Staff which are Active. A Virtual Card is Active if it has Tokens which allow the Staff to access the Cafeteria for meals. A Staff is allowed to use only two (2) Tokens in a day. As a programmer you can change this value in your code to suit the organization you are developing a Cafeteria Biometric ID System for.
Expired Meal Card
This Report shows Virtual Cards for All Staff which have Exhausted Allocated Tokens. A staff whose meal card has expired will not be able to access the cafeteria until their Virtual Meal Card is renewed by allocating it new tokens (usually at the beginning of a new month) but programmer can code this bit to fit the situation that he/she anticipates for their organization or client’s cafeteria.
2. General Reports
Biometric Cafeteria ID’s General Reports has the following two (2) sub reports;
Cafeteria Today:
This report shows data for all the staff with Active Meal Cards who visited the Cafeteria Today.
Cafeteria History:
This report shows Historical data for Previous Visits to the Cafeteria for all Staff who had Active Meal Cards during their time of Cafeteria access.
3. Other Reports
Biometric Cafeteria ID’s Other Reports consist of these two reports, i.e. System Users and System Logs Reports.
System Users:
This shows all users of the system
System Logs:
This is supposed to show any system related events. It is left open for the programmer to decide what to display here. The programmer can opt to leave it out of their system.
Technologies used to develop Web based Biometric Cafeteria ID System
Cafeteria Biometric ID System is developed using a Multi-Tier architecture. The system was constructed to use 3-Tier Architecture to allow for scalability and independent handling of the various components of each tier.
The system’s structured architecture consisted of Presentation, Application and Data layers.
In Presentation layer, JQuery, HTML, CSS and JavaScript was used to implement form components for capturing system user’s particulars, capturing of fingerprints, displaying of user particulars and reporting.
The Application layer handles the application logic including fingerprint identification and validations performed in Cafeteria Biometric ID System. (Php programming language handles most of the application logic on the server side).
The Data layer performs functions related to data saving and retrieval for purposes of registrations, identifications and reporting. The back-end database is MySQL though the programmer can decide to change this to a database of their choice e.g. Oracle, MSSQL, PostgreSQL or any other.
