CMS - Catering Management System

A simple yet powerful CMS application built for home catering businesses.
Though created for learning purposes, this project solves real-world challenges faced by small catering service providers.

---

Description

This application aims to help manage the day-to-day operations of a home catering service, which typically relies on repeat customers. Managing customer data, tracking orders, and updating delivery statuses manually can be a hassle.

This CMS app introduces features to streamline the process and reduce human error.

Key Features

• Active/Inactive Customers:
  Easily mark customers as active or inactive. Orders are automatically generated only for active customers each day.

• Default Settings for New Customers:
  When adding a new customer, the system sets default:

  • Food items (Lunch & Dinner)
  • Quantity
  • Price

• Automatic Daily Orders:
  Orders are created every day for all active customers. Admins can still update or delete orders as needed.

• Performance Tracking:
  Track daily order quantities and analyze business performance over time.

• Role Management:
  Add multiple Admins or Managers to handle daily operations.

Ongoing Development

As this is a project for learning purposes, it will continue to evolve. I plan to:

• Add more features to enhance the user experience.
• Integrate with a payment gateway for online payments.
• Improve performance through optimization
• Refactor the codebase for better maintainability
• Improving UI/UX
• Writing tests
