Contexte

Vue d'ensemble

RestManager focuses on operational restaurant workflows where order status, table activity, payments, and sales tracking must remain consistent.

Problème

Restaurant operations need reliable coordination between menus, tables, orders, payment status, kitchen workflow, and daily sales history.

Objectifs

  • Menu, table, order, payment, and sales workflows modeled as restaurant operations.
  • MVC, DAO, and service layers separate interface, persistence, and business rules.
  • Automatic total calculation and order status workflow support operational consistency.

Solution

Ce qui a été construit

Built a JavaFX desktop application with Hibernate/JPA persistence, MVC structure, DAO and service layers, and business rules for data consistency.

Pourquoi cette approche

The layered Java architecture separates UI, services, DAO persistence, and business rules to keep the desktop application maintainable.

Architecture

Une lecture structurée des blocs techniques et des responsabilités prévues dans le projet.

Frontend

Frontend

JavaFX desktop interface for menu management, tables, order states, payments, and history views.

Backend

Backend

Service layer and DAO structure separating business rules from UI interactions.

Base de données

Base de données

MySQL persistence through Hibernate/JPA with restaurant entities and relationships.

Authentification

Authentification

Authentication is not positioned as the core focus; business workflow consistency is the main concern.

Intégrations

Intégrations

Maven project structure, IntelliJ IDEA development environment, phpMyAdmin, and README demo video.

Défis techniques

  • Maintaining order and payment consistency across table workflows.
  • Separating business rules from JavaFX interface code.
  • Designing persistence with Hibernate/JPA for restaurant entities.

Décisions d'ingénierie

Menu, table, order, payment, and sales workflows modeled as restaurant operations.

MVC, DAO, and service layers separate interface, persistence, and business rules.

Automatic total calculation and order status workflow support operational consistency.

Qualité & tests

La qualité est présentée comme une démarche progressive : tests ciblés, lisibilité, analyse statique et décisions documentées.

Approche de test

The project highlights data consistency through business rules, automatic total calculation, and clear workflow separation.

Maintenabilité et analyse

  • Architecture lisible et responsabilités séparées

Résultats

  • Demo video is available in the repository README.
  • The project demonstrates layered Java desktop architecture with persistence.
  • No production deployment or commercial restaurant usage is claimed.

Leçons apprises

Ces apprentissages transforment le projet en preuve de raisonnement technique, pas seulement en liste de fonctionnalités.

  • Transformer "Restaurant operations need reliable coordination between menus, tables, orders, payment status, kitchen workflow, and daily sales history." en décisions techniques explicites.
  • Présenter les compromis de manière claire pour faciliter la revue par une équipe.
  • Relier l'architecture, les tests et la maintenabilité à un problème concret.
