GobbleGo Backend

Overview

GobbleGo revolutionizes restaurant dining by integrating a collaborative ordering system that enhances group dining experiences. Each table is uniquely identified with a QR code, ensuring easy access to a shared digital ordering platform. Guests can view the menu, place individual orders, and organize checkout and billing in a streamlined manner.

Product Flow

1. QR Code Scanning

• Each table has a unique QR code.
• Guests scan the QR code to join a virtual room linked to their table.

2. Assigning Leadership

• The first person to scan the QR code is designated as the Table Leader.
• The Table Leader has exclusive authority to finalize the order and proceed to checkout.

3. Collaborative Menu Access

• Guests can:
  • View the complete menu, including tags (e.g., Appetizers, Drinks, Main Course, Desserts).
  • Place individual items in their personal cart.

4. Checkout Management

• When all members are ready, the Table Leader reviews the combined cart and clicks Checkout.
• Priority of serving is determined based on item tags.
• Multiple checkouts are allowed during a session.

5. Billing and Payment

• Once dining concludes, all checkout orders are summed up for a final bill.
