The project is the Design and Implementation of a Robust Tourist Tip mobile application using Google Application Developer Toolkit. For a project such as this to be successfully executed, one has to study and analyze various methods that have been used in the past to determine if and how useful such approaches can be reused, similar projects/products, the differences and limitations of those existing Apps. The project will be a mobile App that can calculate tips for users per location and depending on the person to be tipped (waiter/waitress, Hotel staff or barmen/barmaid). The App is targeted at tourists because of their limited knowledge of the customs of the place they are visiting; they are more likely to find the app useful. The App …show more content…
It will also be able to convert between currencies, split total bills for groups of diners, deduct vouchers (in percentage or amount) and the possibility of giving feedback about service with the aim of error checking and assisting other users. This feedback feature will make the Apps Data storage bank useful by establishments for survey. This literature review will also discuss some basic concepts that anyone hoping to embark on a similar project has to consider, evaluate and understand. Some of these concepts are: Mobile devices and Human-Computer Interaction, Mobile Operating systems, Software development methodology, development tools, product/system testing techniques, Data storage principles, techniques and media, similar projects existing (already developed applications). This review will also explain the concept and history of tipping, how tipping has evolved and recently grown to be a more complicated and controversial topic. CONCEPT OF TIPPING Akila McConnel , a food travel expert stated in her blog post that the history of tipping started in the 16th century when guests of English mansions at the end of their visit were expected to give a small amount of money called the vial as compensation to the servants they found very helpful. She explains that by 1970, footmen, valets and gentlemen’s servants all expected vials, which led to great expenses for the guests.
A tip is defined by the National Archives and Records Administration as "a sum presented by a customer as a gift or gratuity in recognition of some service performed for him" (187). Such gifts may vary depending on several factors including but not limited to the specific service industry under consideration. Since time immemorial, a wide range of reasons have been offered in support of tipping. To begin with, there are those who are convinced that tips are meant to be an incentive. Indeed, as Lewis points out, most of us do grasp the notion that tipping people does indeed motivate them to serve us better. In Lewis' opinion, an individual is more likely to offer premium service i.e. in terms of prompt service if he or she believes a reward will be offered. Such kind of behavior is rather obvious and expected. However, offering tips in my opinion could over time make the recipients or beneficiaries of the said tips come to believe that they are entitled to the same. We must not facilitate the creation of such an entitlement
Katie often felt sad. She would skipped school or stayed in bed quite often. At other times, she felt really happy. She talked fast and felt like she could do anything. Katie suffers from Bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder or manic-depressive illness is a brain disorder that can affect one’s mood and ability to complete tasks. Bipolar disorder in children is under studied for many reasons. These include, lack of awareness and the difference in the disease seen in adults and children that can make it difficult to continue studies. Bipolar disorder has not been well studied despite harmful effects on growth and development in a child.
Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew is a sexist play in many ways. The play was written in the renaissance period. The renaissance period took place from the 14th through 17th century. In this time period, people's interest in classical scholarship grew, and lots was discovered. For example, new continents were discovered and the Copernican system of astronomy was presented.
If the environment is not right, the trend will probably not tip as if the environment was right. Much like the environment, groups of people of different sizes and types must embrace the epidemic, as well, in order for tipping to occur. The idea of “tipping” is important in every industry and aspect of life because it’ll make whatever we’re selling or doing, successful.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that depression will be the second highest cause of medical cause of disability by the year 2030, second only to AIDS/HIV. Depression comes in many different forms and shapes affecting around 350 million people worldwide, roughly 7% of the world population and despite the available treatment options many do not have accessibility to said options. This paper is meant to discuss an overview of depression and emotional support animals, a relatively more affordable and accessible form of assistance as well as being psychologically and physiologically beneficial to those with depression.
Mobile applications can be categorized into session-based applications and event-based applications. In event-based applications, user’s payment is reflected by one-time events.
Opening a hotel is never an easy task, but choosing the right city and creating a marketing plan around the target market is a sure way to have a successful hotel. Denton, Texas is a growing town just outside of Dallas. The University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University lie at the center with over 50,000 students flooding the town each year. The population was reaching almost 130,000 in 2014, making almost two thirds of the population college-aged students. The median age in Denton is twenty-eight, which is six years younger than the median age in Texas (United States Census Bureau). A fun way to get visitors engaged in the Denton lifestyle would be to create an app for the hotel that has information collected by the locals about the town and the interesting things to do during their visit. There would also be a part of the app that allows the customer to create their own portfolio which would be used by the hotel to help them create life-long customers. The best restaurants, shopping, and entertainment could all be within the app and visitors could post their own photos from the trip to earn points
Multilingual support: it is safe to assume the a hotel will have guest from all over the world so having an app that has multilingual support will only serve to enhance it.

In this paper we will be discussing the plans the company is going to do to be implementing a new mobile application program, starting at one military base located in Wichita, Kansas. The project will be complete by the end of May 2017, starting in May, 2016.
Carayannis (2011) stated that the use of mobile and especially mobile Internet explosion is changing the activities we do or wish to do through this device. In relation to its innovations and technological advances, the restaurants are among the businesses where customers are willing to pay with their mobile phones. The desire to
Thirdly, the application that we are planning to dispatch must be versatile inviting for a wide range of clients i.e. Android, Windows and Mac. An expert will be contracted with the end goal of making this application and it will be overhauled on a quarterly premise relying upon the changing requests of the clients. The configuration of this application needs additional consideration. It must be exhaustive in nature, such that it covers all the parts of our business. It will have separate areas for the sorts of culinary specialists and nourishment accessibility alternatives offered by us. It will likewise cover the décor, serving staff and area accessibility choices. Consequently, it will give the clients in with no reservations one kind of service.
The primary objective of this application will be to make it easier for potential customers to find the service via one app that fulfils their demand and needs. I personally believe this application will make customers life easier as they can plan their day accordingly and saving time as you can find all the services you may require in one handy application instead of searching the internet or yellow pages and having to call numerous places which I believe to be inconvenient for the customer. I have carried out market research and there is a demand and a need for this type of app as shown by customer feedback. In todays society we place emphasis on time,quality,service, and cost. This app will help to fill a gap in the market and further enhance customer experience and help small businesses to draw in customers which they could
