Streamlining Hospitality Operations: Restaurant Management System

Streamlining Hospitality Operations: Restaurant Management System

Project Summary

The Restaurant Management System is a comprehensive solution designed to optimize hospitality workflows, covering bookings, invoicing, billing, and order-taking. Developed with Laravel for robust backend operations and Ajax for dynamic front-end interactions, the system ensures fast, secure, and reliable functionality. To address connectivity challenges, offline capabilities were implemented using Service Worker API and IndexDB, enabling staff to continue operations without internet access. Additionally, an Android order-taking app was integrated via REST APIs, ensuring real-time synchronization of orders with the central system.

  • Complex Accounting & Billing: Managing invoices, multi-table orders, and transactions in a centralized and accurate manner.
  • Real-Time Order Synchronization: Enabling waitstaff to take and update orders instantly via mobile devices.
  • User Experience: Delivering a fast, responsive interface that simplifies workflows for staff and management.
