Mess Management System: A Web-Based Solution for Hostel Meal Automation

The Mess Management System is a web-based application designed to automate and streamline hostel mess operations. Traditional mess management systems rely heavily on manual record keeping, which often results in errors in meal attendance, bill calculation, and feedback collection. This system provides a centralized digital platform where students can register, view daily menus, mark meal attendance, and submit feedback online. Administrators can efficiently manage student records, update menus, monitor daily attendance, and generate monthly mess bills automatically. The system is developed using Java for backend processing and PostgreSQL for database management, ensuring accuracy, security, and scalability. By reducing paperwork and minimizing human intervention, the proposed system improves transparency, operational efficiency, and overall student satisfaction in hostel mess management.
