The development of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and household industries is often regarded as the economic foundation of a region. However, much of the existing research in Indonesia remains focused on quantitative descriptive analysis, while providing limited attention to spatial dynamics and interregional disparities. This study aims to critically evaluate the spatial distribution patterns of SMEs and household industries at the regency and city levels, with particular emphasis on clustering tendencies, unequal distribution, and their relationships with regional characteristics. A spatial analysis approach is employed to identify spatial autocorrelation and industrial clustering patterns, which is complemented by a structural analysis of infrastructure availability, market accessibility, and regional institutional capacity. The findings indicate that the distribution of SMEs and household industries is not geographically random, but rather forms clusters that are predominantly concentrated in areas with higher levels of accessibility and economic activity. This condition reflects spatial inequality that may exacerbate development disparities between regencies and cities. Furthermore, the results reveal that uniform industrial development policies are insufficient to accommodate the diverse spatial characteristics across regions. Therefore, this study underscores the importance of formulating spatially informed and context-sensitive policies for the development of SMEs and household industries in order to promote more balanced and sustainable regional industrial development.

The development of information technology has driven digital transformation in various sectors, including the food and beverage (F&B) industry. However, many small to medium-scale F&B businesses still rely on manual ordering systems, resulting in long queues, order recording errors, limited menu information, and suboptimal user experience. This study aims to design the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of a web-based Smart Ordering System that provides convenience, efficiency, and comfort in the food ordering process. The research method used is the Design Thinking approach, which includes empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and testing stages. The design process involves user needs analysis, user flow development, wireframe creation, and high-fidelity prototype development using Figma. Usability testing is conducted using the Single Ease Question (SEQ) method to evaluate ease of use and user satisfaction. The results indicate that the proposed UI/UX design provides a clear ordering flow, intuitive interface, and easy-to-understand user experience. Based on the SEQ results, most users experienced no difficulty in using the system, indicating that the design meets usability criteria with a very good category and is suitable for implementation in the F&B industry.

This study aims to classify customer payment methods at 17 Coffee & Eatery using machine learning algorithms, namely Naïve Bayes and Support Vector Machine (SVM). The increasing use of digital and non-cash payments has generated large volumes of transaction data that are rarely analyzed optimally, even though such data contain valuable information for business decision making. This research used secondary transaction data collected from January to March 2025, consisting of 10,147 transaction records. The dataset included several attributes such as order time, payment time, transaction type, total sales, number of items, and payment method. Data preprocessing was performed through data cleaning, feature engineering, normalization, and label encoding before being divided into training and testing sets with an 80:20 ratio. The Naïve Bayes and SVM models were then trained and evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and ROC–AUC metrics. The results show that both algorithms were able to classify payment methods effectively, but SVM achieved higher accuracy and more stable performance than Naïve Bayes. These findings indicate that SVM is more suitable for handling complex and heterogeneous transaction patterns. The implementation of machine learning for transaction classification can support more efficient financial management and data-driven decision making for small and medium enterprises in the culinary sector.
