UrbanBites
Overview
UrbanBites is a full-stack food ordering platform built using the MERN stack. The application enables users to browse food items, manage carts, place orders, and complete secure online payments through Stripe. It also includes a dedicated admin panel for managing food items and monitoring customer orders.
Problem
Many food ordering systems require separate workflows for customers and administrators while maintaining secure payments and efficient order management. UrbanBites was built to provide a streamlined ordering experience with centralized administration and secure transaction handling.
Solution
I developed a complete food ordering platform with role-based functionality for customers and administrators. The application supports user authentication, cart management, order processing, payment integration, and administrative controls through a responsive web interface.
