High Level Design

Within this framework, three fundamental services need management:

Client Services

Customers authenticate themselves to place orders at a restaurant. After order placement, they should have the capability to track their order status, with the flexibility to make payments through various methods.

Restaurant Admin Services

Authentication is the initial step for restaurant admins, who can then access all placed orders at their establishment. Admins can accept and process orders based on the user’s preference for dine-in or delivery. Additionally, they have the authority to modify restaurant-related details such as menus and prices.

Delivery Services

Delivery agents authenticate themselves and interact with Delivery Services, utilizing Map Services to track their location. The service notifies agents of nearby orders, which they can accept and subsequently deliver to the customer.

Necessary Components:

Client Interface

Customers engage with the system through mobile apps, web interfaces, or desktop applications.

Load Balancer

Evenly distributing incoming traffic across multiple servers, load balancers enhance high availability and optimize overall performance.

Authentication and Registration Services

This service handles user authentication and registration. All users, including customers, restaurant admins, and delivery agents, undergo authentication and registration processes.

Database

Storing user data, restaurant details, menus, orders, and metadata, the database serves as the central repository for the system.

Payment Services

Responsible for managing all payment-related data and services.

Order Placement Services

This service is tasked with placing orders at restaurants and managing all order-related processes.

Delivery Services

Focused on delivery-related operations, this service locates delivery agents and facilitates real-time package tracking using Map Services.

Restaurant Admin Services

Enabling restaurants to view and manage placed orders, this service also allows admins to modify menus, prices, and food images.

Map Services

Tracking user and delivery agent locations, Map Services collaborate with Delivery Services and customers for real-time location tracking.

In the modern restaurant industry, delivering exceptional dining experiences requires more than just good cuisine. Restaurant Management Systems have emerged as the secret ingredient for efficient operations and customer satisfaction.

We are going to design a restaurant management system where users can effortlessly discover nearby restaurants. They can seamlessly get menus, explore ratings, and conveniently place orders online, with the added flexibility of choosing between dine-in or delivery to any location within the specified range.
