The Business Challenge

Many restaurants rely on manual coordination for reservations and orders, leading to booking conflicts, delayed responses, and limited operational visibility. The challenge was to design a system capable of handling real-time reservation and ordering workflows while maintaining strong security, fast performance, and a consistent experience across devices—all within a constrained delivery timeline.

The Bottlenecks (Before)

  • Manual reservation handling via phone or in-person coordination
  • Disconnected reservation and ordering processes
  • Limited visibility into active reservations and orders
  • Inconsistent customer experience across devices

The Solution (After)

  • Online reservations with real-time availability updates
  • Unified admin dashboard for reservations and orders
  • Structured, secure operational workflows
  • Consistent, responsive customer experience across devices
Strategic Approach

Engineering the Solution

Lumière was built as a full-stack web platform using React and TypeScript for a maintainable, type-safe frontend and Supabase for authentication, database operations, and real-time subscriptions. State management for cart functionality was handled using Zustand, while TanStack Query optimized server-state handling and caching. The admin dashboard was designed to centralize operational control and reduce reliance on manual coordination. The final system delivers a clean, scalable foundation suitable for real-world hospitality workflows.
