Project Overview:

The Multi-Store Food Court Ordering App is a full-stack web application that simulates a digital ordering system for a food court where multiple food outlets/stores are integrated into one unified platform. Users can browse menus from different restaurants, add items from multiple stores into a single cart, place an order, and track the status in real time.

This system is especially useful in malls, airports, and tech parks where multiple vendors operate under a single food court environment. The system is designed using Java, JSP/Servlets, and MySQL for seamless backend logic and database management.

PPT and Documentation are Provided for this Project
