A System for Evaluating Food Stalls according to Food Sanitation Regulations through a Web Application.

Abstract

Currently, the evaluation format of food stalls of Health Center 3 uses a paper for evaluation, resulting in a large amount of paper, making it difficult to collect data, causing delays and wasting resources. In addition, incorrect processing or data loss may occur. This study aimed to investigate requirement patterns and develop a food stall evaluation system based on food sanitation regulations. The research began with data collection from documents and related studies, followed by interviews with 11 executives and staff members from Health Center 3. The collected data were analyzed to identify system requirements. The interview results indicated that users desired a system with the following features: a home screen, evaluation criteria, policy guidelines, report results, a contact us section, registration functionality, and a login portal for staff to conduct evaluations. Next, the data were analyzed using an object-oriented approach, including use case diagrams, class diagrams, and activity diagrams. The system’s interface was then designed and developed using Sublime Text 3 as the primary editor, MariaDB for database management, and HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and PHP 7.4.8 for programming. After development, the system was tested and evaluated by 24 users. The results showed that users were highly satisfied with the system’s performance, with a mean satisfaction score of 4.30 (standard deviation = 0.72). This suggests that the system effectively supports Health Center 3 staff and assessors in managing evaluations. Executives could also access evaluation reports more conveniently and efficiently. Additionally, the system was user-friendly and accessible across smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers.
