Cafeteria Meal Ordering System – Pseudocode Programming Worksheet (IF/ELSE, WHILE, CASE, REPEAT/UNTI

A complete pseudocode design worksheet built around a real-world scenario: a school cafeteria meal ordering system. Students design and write a single, fully integrated pseudocode program that combines all the core control structures in one place.

Perfect for GCSE Computer Science, IGCSE, or introductory programming/pseudocode units covering selection, iteration, and program structure.

What’s included:

A clear scenario and task brief
Seven structured system rules covering daily setup, meal selection, extras ordering, discount logic, payment processing, daily reporting, and program continuation
One continuous writing space (with a worked starter) where students combine everything into a single nested program — reinforcing how loops and decisions interact rather than practising them in isolation
A 21-mark rubric for quick, criteria-based grading
A pseudocode conventions reference (INPUT/OUTPUT, IF…ELSE, WHILE…ENDWHILE, REPEAT…UNTIL, CASE…OF)

Skills practised:

IF…ELSE and nested IF…ELSE for decision-making
WHILE loops for input validation and repeated actions
CASE statements for multi-way branching
REPEAT…UNTIL for overall program control
Structuring a multi-part program with correctly nested logic
