Scope of movie theater management system
User management system
Managing users in a system is a very important activity. You can develop add user, edit user, remove user functions under this. Actually login and logout and password reset function also comes under this. By using add user function users can add new users for the system. As usual for this function you have to decide your user roles. Edit users can edit the details of current users. It’s better you have a dropdown there. You can select existing user from that. Then below text boxes show entered data then you can change and save it again.
In view user functionality you can view existing users in the system. You can use a table to show these details. There is a good library for that. That is data tables. You can show whether users are active or not in the table. If you can use font awesome icon for that it would be nicer. Here also you can show password reset option. When resetting password you can send password link with email. This would ensure the security. Removing a user you can done by changing a status in database. Because I told this multiple times that we are not removing data from a database. Instated we use a status to manage them.
Employee management
In the employee management you can manage the employees of the company. This module will help to define users for the system. When creating a user you can select entered employee. Because most of the time internal users for the system will be company employees. Here also you can implement functions like add employee, edit employee, remove employee and view employee.
Apart from this in some theaters people works for roster. In that case allocate employees for the theater works also a function which you can implement. Because in movie theaters usually simultaneously shows are showing. Therefore it’s essential manage their staff correctly. Allocate employees for the counters, guidance, distribute 3D glasses, sweep and clean the halls and manage canteen has to be done in a theater. You can implement this function for helping those tasks.
Servicers
Here you can implement various services provided by a theater. Usually they are view movie show times, show dates, check available seats, book a tickets. Cancel or refund for tickets are rarely we find in this business domain. You can implement these things in the website. Since customers interact with these functionalities. Sometimes in movie theaters give this kind of feature for their customers. That is customers can book the seats for the movie. Yet they are not paying. They will pay it at the show date. So viewing booking for the shows is also another functionality.
Manage movies
For ticket booking to users there needs to be shows visible in the website. For that someone has to edit the contents showing in the website. In this module you can add movies with show time and dates, edit movie details, add trailers, add upcoming shows, and remove movies. These functionalities you can implement.

Paying online is a popular feature we can find within an online system. You can add a payment gateway or payment gateway simulation for this.
