The restaurant industry often faces challenges in managing reservations efficiently, dealing with last-minute cancellations, and optimizing food preparation. Traditional booking systems lack integration with food ordering and prepayment, leading to revenue loss and poor customer experience. This project proposes a Restaurant Table Reservation System with Food Ordering, requiring a 40% upfront payment to confirm bookings, reducing cancellations and ensuring better resource management. The system allows users to reserve tables, pre- order food, and make partial payments online. It includes a multi-restaurant support system, where restaurant owners can manage their tables, update menus, and track payments through an admin dashboard. The platform is built using Django (Python) for the backend, React.js/Next.js for the frontend, and MySQL for database management. Secure transactions are handled via Razorpay /Stripe integration, while Twilio and SMTP provide SMS and email notifications. By integrating real-time availability tracking, secure payment processing, and an intuitive user experience, this system enhances restaurant operations and customer satisfaction. Future enhancements include full online payment options, AI-driven menu recommendations, and mobile app development for better accessibility
