Managing a restaurant’s reservations and orders can quickly become overwhelming, especially when handling everything manually. To simplify this process, I developed a personal restaurant software using Angular, designed to streamline:
Online table reservations
Advance food ordering
Efficient management for the restaurant admin
The goal is to provide an easy-to-use platform that benefits both customers and restaurant staff, improving the overall dining experience.
🍽️ How It Works
The platform supports two main roles: Customers and Restaurant Admins. Here’s how each journey unfolds:
👤 Customer Journey
Sign Up / Log In – Create or log into an account for a personalized experience.
Access Home Page – Browse available table types (e.g., 2-seater, 4-seater) and time slots.
Choose a Table & Time – Select preferred seating and time for the reservation.
View Menu & Order in Advance – Browse through the menu, add dishes to the cart, and confirm the order before arrival.
Receive Confirmation – Get a booking and order confirmation, complete with estimated dining time.
🍴 Restaurant Admin Journey
Sign Up / Log In – Secure admin login to manage restaurant operations.
Manage Reservations – View and accept or decline table bookings.
View & Manage Orders – See incoming food orders, mark them as "in preparation" or "served."
Track Overall Status – Stay on top of all reservations and orders from the dashboard.
🔄 Shared Capabilities for Both Users
The application includes several features to enhance user experience:
Profile Management – Personal details and booking history.
Reservation History – Access to past and upcoming reservations for easy management.
Order Tracking – Customers can see the status of their food orders in real time.
⚙️ Built Using Angular
This project leverages Angular 19 and its modern features to provide a smooth and scalable experience:
Modular Standalone Components – Cleanly organized components for better maintenance and scalability.
Lazy Loading – Efficient routing to load only the necessary components on demand.
Reactive Forms – Handles complex forms for table reservations and food orders with dynamic validation and control.
Signals for Reactive UI – Built-in reactivity for dynamic updates, such as real-time order status changes.
The app is fully responsive, ensuring a great experience across both desktop and mobile platforms.
🌱 Real Impact
This project is more than just a functional web application — it’s about optimizing the restaurant experience for both customers and admins. By enabling advance food ordering and simplifying table reservations, the system helps:
Reduce wait times for customers
Improve order accuracy by receiving orders in advance
Enable restaurant admins to manage operations efficiently
🚀 What’s Coming Next?
Integration with real backend services (e.g., Firebase or Node.js)
Payment gateway support for online payments
Real-time updates for order preparation status
PWA features for mobile-first accessibility
