Database Schema

The system uses a normalized database structure with key tables:

​
Route Structure

The application follows a clear routing pattern:
routes/web.php
// Public routes
Route::get('/', [HomeController::class, 'index']);
Route::get('/menu', [HomeController::class, 'comidaview']);

// Authenticated routes
Route::middleware(['auth'])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/cart', [CartController::class, 'index']);
    Route::post('/orderconfirm', [HomeController::class, 'orderConfirm']);
});

// Admin panel (multi-role)
Route::prefix('admin')
    ->middleware(['auth','role:admin,chef,mesero'])
    ->group(function () {
        // Role-specific routes
    });
