Restaurant POS & Management System
A comprehensive Point of Sale (POS) and management system for restaurants, featuring an intuitive customer interface and a robust administrative panel for full control over operations. Built with React.js, Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB.
The Challenge: Comprehensive Restaurant Operations Management
Managing a modern restaurant involves a multitude of complex tasks, from handling customer orders and reservations to managing inventory, staff, and finances. The challenge was to create a unified, robust, and intuitive system that streamlines these operations, enhances efficiency, and provides powerful tools for both customers and administrators.
My Solution: Full-Stack Application Architecture
I designed and implemented a comprehensive full-stack application, focusing on modularity, security, and scalability. The solution provides distinct interfaces for customers and a powerful administrative panel for staff.
Customer Panel: Empowering Users
The customer panel is designed to give users full control over their interactions with the restaurant, from managing their profile to tracking past orders and making reservations.
Admin Panel: Centralized Control & Management
The administrative panel is the backbone of the system, providing staff with a centralized hub to manage every aspect of the restaurant's operations, ensuring smooth workflows and data-driven decision-making.
Key Achievements and Technologies Utilized:
- Robust Authentication & Authorization: Implemented JWT tokens, OAuth2 (Google/Facebook), and role-based access control for secure user and staff management.
- Efficient Data Management: Utilized MongoDB with Mongoose for flexible and scalable database interactions, supporting complex data structures for products, orders, and users.
- Comprehensive API Development: Built a RESTful API with Node.js/Express.js, covering CRUD operations for all core entities (products, orders, users, reservations, messages, staff, categories).
- Secure Payment Integration: Seamlessly integrated Stripe for secure online payments, including webhook handling for automatic order status updates.
- Real-time Statistics & Reporting: Developed endpoints for sales statistics, visitor tracking, and dashboard overviews to support informed business decisions.
- Responsive & Intuitive UI: Designed with React.js and Mantine UI, ensuring a consistent and user-friendly experience across all devices.
- Clean Code & Best Practices: Adhered to industry standards for clean, modular, and maintainable code, including global error handling and structured logging.
