Overview

One workflow for guests and restaurant operations.

The application gives guests a direct way to reserve or cancel a table while accounting for the restaurant's different seating areas and booking rules.

On the operational side, a protected admin dashboard centralizes reservations, tables, history, date-based searches, editing, and capacity summaries. The system also includes scheduled cleanup logic for expired reservations.
