DineFlow — Restaurant Management System
Modern restaurant management platform
Overview
Full-stack restaurant management system with customer ordering, admin dashboard, Stripe payments, and real-time order tracking.
Challenge
Building a restaurant management system required handling complex business logic like restricting cart to one restaurant at a time (similar to Foodpanda). Also needed to implement secure email verification flow and real-time order status updates.
Solution
Used React with TypeScript for type-safe frontend development. Zustand for state management with persistence. Express.js backend with clean layered architecture. Stripe for payments. Mailtrap for email testing. Implemented smart cart logic to prevent ordering from multiple restaurants simultaneously.
