Implementation Approach

Backend Architecture

We'll implement a RESTful API architecture with the following structure: - Routes: Handle incoming requests and route to controllers - Controllers: Process requests and handle business logic - Services: Contain core business logic isolated from HTTP layer - Models: Database schemas and data models - Middleware: Authentication, validation, and error handling

Frontend Architecture

We'll use Next.js App Router with the following structure: - Pages: Application routes and views - Components: Reusable UI components using Shadcn - Hooks: Custom React hooks for state and API interactions - Services: API client code for backend communication - Contexts: State management for shared data - Utils: Helper functions and utilities

Database Design

We'll use MongoDB with the following collections: - Users: Store user information and authentication details - MenuItems: Store menu items with categories - Categories: Menu categories - Tables: Restaurant tables and their details - Reservations: Table bookings with time slots - Orders: Customer orders with status - OrderItems: Items within orders - Feedback: Customer reviews and ratings

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/restaurant-management-system.git
cd restaurant-management-system

# Install dependencies for frontend
cd frontend
npm install

# Install dependencies for backend
cd ../backend
npm install

# Set up environment variables
# Create .env file in the backend directory
# Add the following variables:
# MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
# JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
# PORT=5000

# Run the application
# In the backend directory
npm run dev

# In a separate terminal, navigate to the frontend directory
cd ../frontend
npm run dev

Usage
