Restaurant Management System (MERN + MySQL)

OverView

The Restaurant Management System (RMS) is a comprehensive web application designed to automate and simplify restaurant operations. It provides a centralized platform for restaurant owners, managers, and staff to manage day-to-day activities such as order handling, table management, menu updates, billing, and staff assignments. The system is designed to enhance efficiency, reduce manual errors, and improve overall customer experience. RMS offers a user-friendly interface, ensuring that even staff members with minimal technical expertise can navigate the system easily. The application streamlines communication between front-of-house and back-of-house operations, allowing staff to manage orders, track table availability, and update statuses in real-time. This reduces delays, prevents miscommunication, and ensures timely service. The menu management feature allows administrators to add, update, or remove menu items with detailed descriptions, prices, and images. Staff members can take orders efficiently, mark orders as completed, and communicate any special instructions directly through the system. The order management module keeps track of all active orders, allowing staff and managers to monitor progress and avoid confusion during peak hours. A key component of RMS is the table reservation system. Customers can book tables in advance, and the system automatically tracks table availability, helping restaurants optimize seating and reduce waiting times. The system supports user authentication and role-based access control, enabling admins to have full control, staff to manage daily operations, and customers (if applicable) to make bookings and view menu items. RMS also provides a robust dashboard that displays analytics and reports, including total sales, most popular dishes, daily orders, and customer activity. These insights assist restaurant owners in making informed business decisions, such as adjusting inventory, planning promotions, and improving service quality. Real-time notifications keep staff updated about new orders, reservations, or changes, ensuring a smooth workflow.
