Restaurant management system with desktop and web interfaces

Institute projects

Django
Java
Postgres

As part of an institute project, we developed a Java desktop application and a web application using Django, designed to manage all the operational needs of a restaurant. Both applications are integrated with a PostgreSQL database hosted on Heroku, ensuring centralized data management and seamless communication between the systems. The project demonstrated the ability to create robust, scalable solutions for real-world business scenarios.
