Restaurant systems hub
Hypothetical. Not a client, not a result.
// The problem
A restaurant's staff retype delivery marketplace orders into the point of sale, and someone copies sales into accounting and hours into payroll every week.
// What we would build
An integration hub between the delivery marketplaces, the point of sale, the scheduler, payroll and accounting, so an order lands in the kitchen once and sales and hours reach the books without retyping.
// What is in it
- Marketplace orders sent straight to the point of sale
- Menu and price changes pushed to each marketplace
- Sales posted to accounting, hours to payroll
- A log of every message, with alerts
- Documented, so the next system is easy to add
// Stack
- Node.js
- PostgreSQL
- OpenAPI
- Marketplace and point of sale interfaces
- DigitalOcean
