ServeOS – Restaurant Management System Development

Overview

ServeOS is an all-in-one restaurant management system developed at Serveup Engineering to streamline restaurant operations, from order processing to payments, customer engagement, and business insights. The platform was designed to solve common pain points in restaurant workflows, such as manual order tracking, fragmented payment handling, and inefficient customer reward programs.
As a Full Stack Developer, I played a pivotal role in designing, developing, and delivering the platform’s frontend interface and backend microservices. On the frontend, I built responsive dashboards in React/Next.js, ensuring smooth and intuitive user experiences for restaurant managers and staff. On the backend, I architected Node.js microservices and PostgreSQL databases to handle large volumes of transactions reliably , on Replit .
ServeOS was engineered not just for functionality, but also for scalability, reliability, and adoption. One of the standout features was the voucher generation and redemption system, which increased adoption by 25% by providing restaurants with powerful customer engagement tools.

Tech Stack

Frontend: React, Next.js, Redux
Backend: Node.js, Microservices
Database: PostgreSQL
Other Tools: Docker, Third-Party API Integrations

Key Contributions

Database & Backend Architecture
Designed and implemented relational schemas in PostgreSQL to manage restaurants’ most critical data, including menus, orders, staff logs, and customer records.
Ensured ACID compliance and optimized queries for speed and reliability under high-traffic conditions.
Built scalable Node.js microservices that supported modular development, allowing new features to be deployed quickly without affecting core operations.
Voucher Service & Engagement Features
Developed a voucher generation and redemption service, enabling restaurants to issue promotional offers and loyalty rewards to customers.
This feature alone boosted customer adoption by 25%, creating measurable business growth for ServeOS clients.
Designed the system to handle high redemption volumes during peak hours without performance degradation.

Integrated third-party APIs for secure, real-time payment processing and financial reporting.
Connected with restaurant suppliers’ APIs, allowing for streamlined ordering and stock management.
Delivered seamless workflows between ServeOS and external services, reducing manual overhead and improving staff efficiency.
Frontend Development & UX
Built the admin dashboard in React/Next.js with Redux state management, enabling managers to view orders, revenue, and voucher usage in real time.
Designed responsive UI components, ensuring that both staff-facing and management-facing dashboards worked across desktop and tablet devices.
Created role-based access controls, so staff, admins, and managers had tailored views aligned with their responsibilities.
Performance & Deployment Reliability
Used Docker containers to ensure smooth deployments across development, staging, and production.
Implemented CI/CD pipelines to automate testing and deployment, reducing downtime and speeding up release cycles.
Conducted code reviews and enforced best practices, ensuring long-term maintainability of the ServeOS codebase.
