Pastaverse

Work in progress, contributions are appreciated!

Pastaverse is an evolving restaurant web application, meticulously built with Django to provide a full-stack web experience. My primary focus is on fostering modularity and code reuse to create a scalable and efficient dining experience. Each component is designed as a standalone app, promoting easy integration and adaptability for future projects.
Explore a seamless dining experience with features like menu management, online ordering, reservations, and more.

Project Structure:

1. Core App (core):
   • Common functionalities such as base templates, and global settings using the power of Django.
2. Menu App (menu):
   • Utilizes Django models and templates to handle menu items, categories, and pricing in a flexible and efficient manner.
3. Ordering App (ordering):
   • Leverages Django Rest Framework for the creation, cart management, and streamlined checkout process, ensuring a smooth ordering experience.
4. Reservation App (reservation):
   • Integrates Django's powerful features to manage table reservations and availability seamlessly.
5. Review and Rating App (reviews):
   • Implements Django Rest Framework serializers and views for a dynamic customer review and rating system.
6. Location App (location):
   • Utilizes Django's capabilities to integrate features related to the restaurant's physical location, including maps and detailed address information.
7. User Profile App (user_profile):
   • Harnesses Django's user authentication and profile management capabilities to provide a personalized user experience.

Key Features:

• Built on the Django framework for a robust and maintainable codebase.
• Seamless integration of Django's ORM for efficient database interactions.

Technological Stack:

• Framework: Django
• Database: MySQL, or SQLite for a quick view of the app's features
  • If you want to use the MySQL database, compile the 'DATABASE' section inside the 'setting.py' file in the 'pastaverse' folder, as follow:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {  
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
    'NAME': 'your database name',
    'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
    'PORT': '3306',
    'USER': 'your mysql username',
    'PASSWORD': 'your mysql password',
    }
}

replacing name, user and password with your credentials.
