Designing a Website-Based Supiati Boarding House Application

Abstract

The development of information technology has significantly influenced various sectors, including public accommodation services such as boarding houses. Supiati Boarding House currently uses a manual registration system, requiring prospective residents to contact the owner directly. This research aims to design and develop a website-based application to facilitate online registration for Supiati Boarding House. The system was developed using the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method with a waterfall model, encompassing planning, analysis, design, and implementation stages. The application was built using PHP, Laravel framework, and MySQL database. Key features include user and admin login, room selection, reservation confirmation, transaction processing, and a structured navigation and database system. Testing on multiple devices and browsers confirmed that the application performs reliably and meets its functional requirements. This online system improves service accessibility and efficiency, particularly for prospective residents located outside the boarding house area.
