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.

Frontend: React, Next.js, Redux

Backend: Node.js, Microservices
