Restaurant QR Ordering & Table Management System

Restaurant QR Ordering & Table Management System is a complete Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution developed using Laravel, Livewire, MySQL, Tailwind CSS, and Alpine.js. It helps restaurants replace traditional paper menus and manual order-taking with a modern QR-code-based ordering experience.

Each restaurant receives its own branded customer website where guests simply scan a QR code placed on the table to browse the digital menu, place orders, call a waiter, and track their orders without installing any mobile application.

Restaurant owners manage every aspect of their business through an intuitive admin dashboard, while customers enjoy a seamless contactless ordering experience.
