Restaurant Management Application

This is a restaurant management application that allows users to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on restaurant details. Users can view a list of restaurants, create new restaurants, view detailed information about a selected restaurant, update restaurant information, and delete restaurants. The application is built using Express.js as the backend framework, MongoDB as the database, and React for the frontend.

Features

Restaurant Listing: The application displays a list of restaurants with their names and basic details such as cuisine type and location.
Restaurant Creation: Users can add new restaurants by providing details such as name, cuisine type, location, and an image of the restaurant.
Restaurant Details: The application shows detailed information about a selected restaurant, including its name, cuisine type, location, and the uploaded image.
Restaurant Update: Users have the option to edit the details of a restaurant, including its name, cuisine type, location, and the uploaded image.
Restaurant Deletion: Users can delete a restaurant from the system.
