Supermarket Management System

Introduction

The Supermarket Management System is a console-based C++ application designed to manage a supermarket's operations efficiently. The system provides functionality for both administrators and customers, enabling them to handle inventory, process orders, and maintain records seamlessly.

The project demonstrates the use of object-oriented programming (OOP) principles, file handling, and data structures like queues and linked lists to create a robust and user-friendly application.
