1. INTRODUCTION
The food and beverage industry is a cornerstone of the economic support system for tourism in a given region. As
the primary purveyor of culinary experiences, it catalyzes attracting visitors, thereby contributing substantially to
the local economy [1], [2]. Moreover, the industry facilitates preserving and promoting cultural heritage through
traditional cuisines and culinary practices, enriching the tourism experience [3]–[5]. Furthermore, fostering the
growth of ancillary services such as hospitality and entertainment generates a multiplier effect, amplifying
economic benefits [6]–[9]. Hence, it is evident that the food and beverage sector not only sustains but also propels
the economic viability of tourism, making it indispensable for regional development and prosperity.
Implementing robust management systems and effective monitoring mechanisms is imperative for business
governance to enhance coffee shops' performance. Establishing efficient managerial protocols ensures streamlined
operations, optimal resource allocation, and adherence to industry standards, thereby fostering sustainability and
growth [10]–[12]. Additionally, diligent monitoring facilitates real-time assessment of performance metrics,
enabling timely interventions and strategic adjustments to capitalize on opportunities and mitigate risks [13], [14].
Consequently, a well-structured management and monitoring framework is essential for optimizing coffee shop
ventures' operational efficiency and overall success, underscoring its significance in contemporary business
practices.
Specifically, a comprehensive system must accommodate the management of suppliers, inventory, menus,
employees (baristas), and sales data. A sophisticated system facilitates seamless coordination with suppliers,
ensuring timely replenishment of stock and maintaining product quality standards [15]–[17]. Moreover, it enables
efficient inventory management, minimizing wastage and optimizing resource utilization [18]–[21]. Additionally,
the system enhances workforce productivity and satisfaction by integrating employee scheduling, training records,
and performance evaluations [1], [22]–[24]. Consequently, implementing a tailored management system is
paramount for optimizing operational efficiency and maximizing profitability in the dynamic environment of
coffee shop businesses.
This research aims to design a data warehouse as a management information system and monitoring tool
for coffee shop business activities. By implementing a data warehouse, comprehensive and real-time data on
supplier transactions, inventory levels, menu preferences, employee performance, and sales trends are efficiently
stored and analyzed. Such a system enables informed decision-making, proactive problem-solving, and strategic
planning, ultimately enhancing operational efficiency and competitiveness in the coffee shop industry [25], [26].
In conclusion, developing a data warehouse as a management information system is crucial to achieving optimal
performance and sustainability in coffee shop businesses.
The urgency of this research lies in addressing the pressing need for advanced management information
systems tailored to the specific requirements of coffee shop businesses. With the rapid evolution of consumer
preferences and market dynamics, there is a critical demand for innovative solutions to enhance operational
efficiency and competitiveness in the industry [27]. By developing a data warehouse as a comprehensive
management information system, this research endeavors to fill a significant gap in current practices, enabling
coffee shop owners and managers to make data-driven decisions, optimize resource utilization, and capitalize on
emerging opportunities [28]. In conclusion, the timely execution of this research is paramount in navigating the
complexities of the coffee shop business landscape and ensuring long-term success and sustainability.
The method employed in the system's design is Rapid Application Development (RAD), a structured
approach emphasizing iterative development and prototyping. This methodology accelerates the system
development process by involving end-users early and facilitating rapid feedback loops, ensuring alignment with
business needs and requirements [29]–[31]. By leveraging RAD, the design team swiftly identifies and addresses
potential issues, iteratively refining the system to meet evolving demands and specifications. Consequently,
adopting RAD enables efficient system development and deployment, ultimately enhancing agility and
responsiveness in meeting the dynamic demands of coffee shop business operations. In conclusion, the utilization
of RAD methodology represents a strategic choice in expediting the development of the system while ensuring its
alignment with user needs and business objectives.
This research's theoretical and practical implications extend to academia and industry, fostering
advancements in management information systems theory and enhancing operational efficiency in coffee shop
businesses. Integrating a data warehouse as a management information system facilitates the application of
contemporary theories in information management, contributing to the scholarly discourse on innovative solutions
for small business operations [32]. Moreover, in practical terms, implementing such a system holds promise for
coffee shop owners and managers, offering actionable insights derived from comprehensive data analysis to
optimize decision-making processes and improve business performance [22]. Thus, this research enriches
theoretical knowledge and provides tangible benefits to stakeholders in the coffee shop industry, underscoring its
significance in academia and practice.
The similarity with prior research lies in the focus on developing systems for managing supplier relations,
menu customization, employee management, and sales tracking through the Rapid Application Development
(RAD) methodology. This aligns with the trend in contemporary literature towards leveraging agile methodologies
for system development in various business contexts [32], [33]. However, the limitations of this research primarily
revolve around the scope of the RAD approach, which may not fully address the complexity of certain business
processes or adequately accommodate specific industry nuances. Thus, while RAD offers expedited development
cycles and user involvement, its suitability for comprehensive and nuanced systems in the coffee shop domain
warrants further exploration and consideration of alternative methodologies.
2. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
2.1 Gap Analysis
Gap analysis is conducted to identify theoretical discrepancies from similar studies that accommodate coffee shop
business processes through information systems within the RAD methodology. This methodological scrutiny aims
to pinpoint areas where prior research may have overlooked or inadequately addressed specific aspects of coffee
shop operations, such as inventory management, menu customization, employee scheduling, and sales tracking.
By systematically assessing these gaps, this research delineates avenues for further investigation and refinement,
thus enhancing the comprehensiveness and applicability of future studies in this domain. Consequently, through
diligent gap analysis, this research advances knowledge and practice in coffee shop management and information
systems development within the RAD framework.

focuses on creating intuitive interfaces and user-friendly interactions tailored to the needs of coffee shop staff and
managers, ensuring ease of use and accessibility. Following this, the construction phase involves the actual
development of the application, utilizing RAD's iterative approach to produce prototypes and quickly incorporate
feedback for rapid refinement. Finally, the cutover phase entails transitioning to the new system, including data
migration, staff training, and implementation support to ensure a smooth integration into daily operations. In
conclusion, the systematic application of RAD methodology in each stage of the application design process
facilitates the efficient development and deployment of a robust coffee shop management system catering to the
industry's specific needs.
