Restaurant Management System – Orders, Kitchen & Analytics
A full-stack Restaurant Management System built for a live restaurant currently handling 300+ orders per week. The system covers the entire restaurant workflow — from waiters taking orders on any device to the kitchen receiving them in real time, with a complete admin panel for order management, menu control, sales analytics, and QR code-based customer menus. Deployed locally using NSSM for seamless multi-device access across the restaurant network.

Key Features
1
Real-Time Order Management
Orders placed by waiters instantly appear on the kitchen display and admin panel using Server-Sent Events, with no page refresh required across any device on the network.
2
Role-Based Access
Three dedicated roles — Admin, Waiter, and Kitchen — each with their own interface and access level. Waiters see only the menu, kitchen sees only pending orders, and admin has full control.
3
Kitchen Display System
A dedicated real-time screen for the kitchen team showing only pending orders, with sound alerts for new orders and the ability to mark orders as done directly from the screen.
4
Menu Management
Admin can add, edit, and remove menu items with images, pricing, categories, and veg or non-veg tags — all reflected instantly across the system.
5
Sales Analytics Dashboard
Comprehensive analytics showing revenue and order counts across daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly periods, along with a ranked list of best-selling dishes by quantity and revenue.
6
QR Code Customer Menu
Auto-generated QR code that customers can scan to browse the restaurant menu on their own device, reducing the need for printed menus.
7
Discount System
Password-protected discount system that applies discounts across applicable menu categories, with controlled access to prevent misuse.
8
Local Network Deployment
Deployed using NSSM as a Windows service, allowing all restaurant devices — tablets, phones, and desktops — to access the system over the local network without an internet connection.
