A Full-Stack Web Application for Modern Dining

Experiences
Introduction
 What is MERN Stack?
 - MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing data.
 - Express.js: Backend framework for handling
server-side logic.
 - React.js: Frontend library for building
interactive user interfaces.
 - Node.js: JavaScript runtime for executing
server-side code.

 Why MERN Stack for a Restaurant Website?


 - Full-stack capabilities in JavaScript.
 - Scalable and flexible architecture.
 - Enhanced performance and interactivity.
Project Overview
 Objective:
 - Develop a user-friendly and dynamic restaurant
website.

 Key Features:
 - Display menu with categories and filters.
 - Online table reservation system.
 - Customer reviews and ratings.
 - Admin dashboard for management.

 Target Audience:
 - Restaurant owners for business operations.
 - Customers seeking a seamless dining experience.
System Architecture

 System Workflow:
 1. Frontend: React.js for UI/UX.
 2. Backend: Express.js and Node.js for
server-side logic.
 3. Database: MongoDB for storing data.

 Architecture Diagram:
 Frontend ⇄ API ⇄ Backend ⇄ MongoDB
Technologies Used
 Frontend:
 - React.js
 - Material-UI / Bootstrap for styling

 Backend:
 - Node.js
 - Express.js

 Database:
 - MongoDB (NoSQL database)

 Other Tools:
 - Postman: API testing
 - GitHub: Version control
 - Heroku/Netlify: Deployment
Features Breakdown
 1. Homepage:
 - Dynamic banner with restaurant promotions.
 - About us section.

 2. Menu Page:
 - Categorized menu items (e.g., Starters, Main Course).
 - Filters for price and availability.

 3. Reservations:
 - Online table booking form.
 - Confirmation email.

 4. Admin Panel:
 - Add or edit menu items.
 - View and manage reservations.

 5. Reviews Section:
 - Customer reviews with ratings.
Database Design
 Collections in MongoDB:
 1. Users: Stores user information.
 2. MenuItems: Stores details of menu
items.
 3. Reservations: Records table bookings.
 4. Reviews: Stores customer feedback.

 Entity-Relationship Diagram:
 Show relationships between users,
menu items, reservations, and reviews.
Demo Flow

 1. Homepage: Explore restaurant


details and offers.
 2. Menu Page: Browse the menu,
apply filters.
 3. Reservation: Book a table with
preferred time and date.
 4. Review: Leave feedback about the
experience.
Code Snippets
 React Component Example:
 function Menu() {
 const [menuItems, setMenuItems] = useState([]);
 useEffect(() => {
 fetch('/api/menu')
 .then(response => response.json())
 .then(data => setMenuItems(data));
 }, []);
 return (
 <div>{menuItems.map(item => (
 <div key={item.id}>{item.name} - ${item.price}</div>
 ))}</div>
 );
 }

 API Route Example in Express:


 app.get('/api/menu', async (req, res) => {
 const menuItems = await MenuItem.find();
 res.json(menuItems);
 });
Challenges and Solutions

 Challenges Faced:
 - Handling state management in
React.
 - API integration between frontend
and backend.

 Solutions:
 - Used Redux or Context API for state
management.
 - Used Axios for smooth API calls.
Deployment
 Frontend Deployment:
 - Netlify or Vercel

 Backend Deployment:
 - Heroku or Render

 Deployment Workflow:
 1. Push code to GitHub.
 2. Connect GitHub repository to the
deployment platform.
 3. Configure environment variables and
deploy.
