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 + +```bash +# Clone the repository +git
