These systems will be located in a special area in the foyer of the theatre. When browsing, customers should be able to see detailed information about the shows, times when shows are on, and the availability, pricing and location of seats. The system should be designed for use by all the theatre’s potential customers and take into account any special requirements they may have. The staff of the theatre must also have an interface to the system, not only for maintenance (such as adding/removing shows, setting prices and changing availability information), but also so that they can work with customers who ask for help. The theatre also wishes to provide similar services to Internet users. They would expect their website and in-house systems to be well integrated, but both should suit the expectations and skill levels of their target users.
