Restaurant Ordering Platform Development -- 2

I’m building a full-stack platform that lets our customers place online orders for delivery from any device. The same site has to feel seamless on phones, tablets, laptops, and large desktop screens, so responsive design (or a well-tuned mobile-first approach) is essential.

Core flow: a guest browses the menu, customises items, pays by credit or debit card through a secure gateway, or chooses cash on delivery. Once an order is submitted, the kitchen sees it instantly and the customer can follow its status until it arrives. I also need an internal dashboard where staff can adjust menus, set delivery zones and fees, mark orders as prepared/ dispatched, and pull simple sales reports.

I’m flexible on the tech stack, but it must be modern, well-documented, and easy to hand over. REST or GraphQL APIs, a clean component-based front end, and straightforward deployment to a mainstream cloud host are what I have in mind.

Please include the following in your proposal:

- A responsive customer-facing web app connected to a production-ready back end
- Admin/restaurant dashboard with real-time order management
- Integration with a major card processor plus a toggle for cash-on-delivery orders
- Database schema, API or service documentation, and test coverage sufficient for future feature work
- Deployment scripts or instructions so I can launch and scale without surprises

I value clear communication, readable code, and predictable delivery schedules. If you’ve built similar ordering or e-commerce systems, let’s talk about timelines, milestones, and anything else you need to hit the ground running.
