Food manager: aplicação para gerenciamento de pedidos de restaurantes

Abstract

This research project aims to develop a prototype application for managing restaurant orders, with a focus on optimizing operational and administrative processes. The application, called FoodManager, was developed using React and Vite on the front-end, TypeScript throughout the stack, NestJS on the back-end, PostgreSQL as the database management system, and Prisma ORM on the persistence layer. The architecture adopted follows the client-server and REST API model, based on best practices for modularization, separation of responsibilities, and communication between services. The research is applied and exploratory-descriptive in nature, seeking to propose a technological solution that integrates different stages of service—from order entry to cash flow. The system aims to reduce human error, streamline service, and improve the internal management of establishments. The results obtained reinforce the relevance of digital solutions as instruments of transformation in the gastronomic sector, highlighting the role of technology in the modernization and efficiency of food businesses.
