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 ```bash # 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 - Access the admin dashboard at `/admin` route - Staff portal is available at `/staff` route - Customer interface is accessible on the homepage ## License This project is licensed under the MIT License.
