Task 1

The drink transaction is made the transaction then is in processing mode, detailed reports are then accumulated and it goes over into the company’s database; the inventory for the item is reduced by the quantity sold and the cash increases. The functional information systems affected by the drink order transaction are the finances, production and operations.
Task 2
If club IT acquired a Transaction Processing System they would then open up the window monitoring, collecting, storing, and processing data from all of the transactions that may take place. Club IT will accrue two important benefits, improved performance and minimized processing costs. The costs of implementing a transaction processing system at Club IT will only open up door for innovation, upon implementing the system they could set their menu online, so that patrons who are at club IT can order their menu items from their cellular devices and just go and pick up the order whenever it is ready, and not only that thanks to e-commerce they can use their cellular phones to pay for the transaction.
