About the project

This project was created with the cooperation of six people, one of whom was the main leader (Project Manager). The main core of the MVC application was written from scratch the most for of performance reasons. Application works with MySQL database version 7.4 and higher.

This application allows to create a user and restaurant owner account. User can add new products from multiple restaurants to the cart and the owner (after the system administrator approves the created restaurant) can add, modify and remove dishes from the created restaurant.
