foodmaster - Delivery Platform
THE OVERVIEW
foodmaster was built as a practical web platform for small food stalls that need both customer convenience and operational clarity. The system combines menu publishing, checkout, order lifecycle tracking, and back-office controls in one mobile-first experience backed by a typed Next.js + Supabase architecture.
THE CHALLENGE
A core engineering challenge was keeping customer-facing updates fast while preserving reliable admin control and data consistency across menu, order, and inventory modules. This was addressed with clear domain modeling, API-route orchestration, SSE-based status updates, and transactional-style inventory deduction patterns tied to order creation.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Delivered a production-style full-stack workflow including secure authentication, stall-level settings controls, live order visibility, recipe-aware inventory management, and responsive interfaces for both admin and customer use cases. The result improves service coordination, reduces manual errors, and shortens customer uncertainty during peak order periods.
