Design and Development of BonBake Cake Ordering Website Using the Waterfall Method for Software Engineering Implementation

Abstract

This study presents the design and development of BonBake, a web-based cake ordering system aimed at supporting small culinary businesses through digital transformation. The system was developed using the Waterfall software development methodology, covering the phases of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and evaluation. The project serves both as an academic implementation of software engineering principles and a practical solution for streamlining online cake orders. The website was built using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and MySQL, resulting in a responsive platform that enables customers to browse products, place orders, and manage transactions, while allowing admins to efficiently handle product and order data. The system's functionality is supported by UML modeling, a structured MySQL database, and an intuitive user interface. The successful implementation demonstrates the feasibility of applying structured software engineering methods in real-world MSME digitalization efforts.
