Pawline: booking built around the van, for mobile pet groomers Pawline is a booking system for a small mobile pet grooming business: one van, two groomers, three Austin zones.

Most booking tools treat a mobile groomer like a salon. The real problem is logistics: travel fees by zone, visits with several pets that take different amounts of time, and one van that can't be double-booked.

What it does: 🐾 ZIP check with instant zone travel fees 🐾 Live pricing and visit length for up to 4 pets, including add-ons and setup time 🐾 Only shows time slots the van can actually fit, and respects the owner's blocked time 🐾 Private links so customers can reschedule or cancel without an account 🐾 Owner dashboard with a daily van timeline 🐾 Public demo mode with fictional bookings and hidden customer details

Built for real use: owner-only data access, leaked-password protection, and full end-to-end testing on desktop and mobile.

Designing around travel zones instead of a salon schedule is the right call. The demo mode is a nice touch for people testing it.

Dinora is a full-stack, multi-branch restaurant management and ordering system built to bring customer ordering and restaurant operations into one connected platform.

Restaurants with multiple locations often manage online orders, table bookings, kitchen activity, delivery, staff attendance, payroll, inventory, menus, and branch reporting through separate tools or manual records. That can create delays, inconsistent data between branches, stock-control issues, and limited visibility for owners or managers.

I built Dinora as an independent product case study to demonstrate how these workflows can be managed through one custom web application. The system includes a customer-facing restaurant experience as well as an internal admin platform for managing day-to-day operations across multiple branches.

On the customer side: Users can browse the menu, view deals, select the nearest branch, place online orders, choose takeaway options, book a table, and sign in with email or Google. The platform is designed to make ordering and booking clear for customers while routing relevant activity to the restaurant’s operational team.

On the admin side: Dinora gives restaurant management control over branches, menu content, deals, stock, staff, attendance, payroll, bookings, orders, kitchen activity, deliveries, and reporting. Different operational roles can access the workflows relevant to their work, including administrators, chefs, waiters, delivery staff, and other restaurant employees.

The system includes:

A kitchen-management workflow for receiving and managing incoming orders

A dedicated kitchen interface for chefs to handle on-site orders and preparation activity

Waiter access for creating and managing restaurant orders through the admin panel

A delivery workflow for handling and completing online orders

Booking management for reviewing and organizing table reservations

Menu, deals, branch-location, and customer-facing content management

Inventory management helps track stock usage and movement across branches. The reporting area is designed to give management visibility into branch-wise revenue, stock status, stock usage, delivery activity, staff performance, and kitchen order progress and preparation activity. This makes it easier to review operations and create accountability around stock additions, stock usage, and order fulfillment.

Dinora also includes staff management, attendance tracking, and payroll management. Payroll deductions can be managed using attendance information and additional staff-related dues, such as damaged equipment or restaurant items.

I built Dinora from frontend to backend using the MERN stack:

React |Node.js | Express.js | MongoDB | Tailwind CSS | Framer Motion | JWT-based authentication | Google sign-in with Firebase Authentication | Stripe payment integration | Cloudinary for image uploads and media handling | REST APIs | deployment .
