Introduction

Brief: Designing a hotel website

Client: CYF Hotels Ltd

Date: 28 January 2018

Facilitators: CYF Mentors

Now that you are almost a full-stack developer, we would like you to make us a website for our imaginary hotel.

Since you have a limited time, there is already an empty boilerplate project for you to take and build on top of.

In keeping with times, we are using the Lean model and only developing features that we see necessary for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP).

Problem Statement

Currently hotel website is a little empty. Although some raw data is available from recording things on a computer, Hotel Manager and Receptionists do not have ways to view them in a useful way.

Similarly the hotel Customers cannnot get a link to their invoices online to view or pint them, so they are also unhappy.

User Journeys

Personas

We are looking at three personas today:

  • Hotel Customer
  • Hotel Receptionist
  • Hotel Manager

As a < type of user >, I want < some goal > so that < some reason >.

  • As a Hotel Manager, I want to view a list of all customers

  • As a Hotel Manager, I want to view a customers details by their customer account ID

  • As a Hotel Manager, I want to view a list of all invoice

  • As a Hotel Manager, I want to view a an invoice by its Invoice ID

  • As a Hotel Receptionist, I want to list of all reservations

  • AS a Hotel Receptionist, I want to view a reservation by its reservation ID

  • As a Hotel Customer, I want to view my invoice page
