- Shifted the project direction toward a Restaurant Management & POS System.
- Defined the core system scope, user roles, restaurant workflows, and initial feature requirements.
- Selected the primary technology stack: PHP, MySQL, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and XAMPP.
- Designed the initial database structure and system interface.
- Developed the authentication system with login, logout, and role-based access control.

- Implemented stock/inventory management for monitoring available menu items.
- Developed the POS and order management system.

- Continue integrating the customer-facing ordering system with the existing POS and management modules.
- Establish a unified workflow between online ordering, POS transactions, inventory, payments, and reporting.
- Improve order tracking through automatic status updates and estimated preparation times rather than requiring live GPS tracking.
- Expand reporting and analytics for restaurant performance, sales, inventory, and customer activity.
- Further improve security, role permissions, validation, and system reliability.
- Future direction: evolve Resto-POS from a traditional POS into a Restaurant Management & E-Commerce Platform that supports multiple sales channels through one centralized system.
The long-term development of Resto-POS is centered around a unified platform:
Customer Ordering → Authentication → Cart → Checkout → Payment → Order Processing → Inventory → POS → Reporting
This architecture allows the system to function not only as a point-of-sale solution, but also as a customer-facing restaurant e-commerce platform and centralized restaurant management system.
This project started as a simple POS system for restaurant order management and evolved into a full restaurant management platform with future plans for online ordering integration.
