Restaurant POS System for Streamlined Order & Payment Processing
Full-Stack Development of a Scalable, Tablet-Enabled POS with Table-Side FreedomPay Integration and CI/CD AutomationRestaurant POS System for Streamlined Order & Payment Processing
As part of a dedicated and skilled development team, I was working on a cutting-edge Point of Sale (POS) application designed to transform restaurant management. This solution streamlines essential operations, including order processing, payment handling, and kitchen coordination, providing restaurant owners with an efficient and intuitive system. The application offers real-time order tracking, seamless payment integration, and a modern, user-friendly interface. Its design ensures scalability, reliability, and flexibility, enabling restaurants to operate smoothly and focus on delivering a great customer experience. This project highlights my ability to collaborate within a team to deliver innovative, high-impact solutions tailored to the needs of the restaurant industry.
Real-Time Order Tracking
- Orders are updated and tracked in real time from creation to kitchen routing and fulfillment. This supports smoother workflows and timely service, reducing delays and miscommunication.
FreedomPay Integration Across Devices
- Integrated FreedomPay not only into the core POS system but also extended its capabilities to mobile payment devices linked with Servant tablets. This enabled staff to take and process payments directly at the table or anywhere in the restaurant.
Responsive and Mobile-First UI
- Developed a clean, adaptable UI with React that works across terminals, tablets, and handhelds. It requires minimal training and supports quick interaction during high-traffic hours.
Modular, Scalable Microservice Backend
- Designed and maintained backend services following microservice principles, allowing efficient scaling and isolated deployment of services. The system supports multiple restaurants and locations effortlessly.
Tablet WebView Integration
- Engineered a unique solution where a native Android app embeds the frontend via WebView and enables communication between Android and the React app. This architecture allows access to tablet hardware and system-level functions, enhancing device utility while keeping the UI fully web-based.
