With her growing operation she has identified the need to implement a computerized accounting information system. In order to have a system that meets her needs exactly and also to save cost, she has asked you to create a simple, customized solution for her business. Her immediate need is for a customer sales information system, so that is what you will now create.   Janet’s receptionist maintains a client file that contains each client’s full name, cellphone number, favourite treatment (if known), and special considerations (e.g. allergies). When a client wants to come in for spa or beauty services, they first call Janet’s receptionist for a reservation. The receptionist books a time in her appointment book, noting a unique identifier for the visit, the date and time of the appointment, what service or services the client will receive, the total price, and which staff member will serve the client.   When the client arrives, he or she checks in with the receptionist who seats the client in the waiting lounge.
