ABSTRACT:

The "QR Menu Ordering System using Angular, Node.js, MySQL, and REST API" is an innovative digital solution aimed at modernizing the dining experience in restaurants. This system uses cutting-edge web technologies to create an efficient and user-friendly platform for both restaurant administrators and customers.

The project includes two distinct login types: admin and user. The admin interface is designed to provide comprehensive control over menu and order management. Admins can create and manage categories, subcategories, and products, ensuring a well-organized menu structure. Additionally, admins have the capability to generate unique QR codes for each table in the restaurant. These QR codes, when scanned by users, direct them to the specific table's menu and ordering system.

 For the user, the process is seamless and straightforward. Customers can access the menu by scanning the QR code placed on their table. This action takes them to a responsive web interface built using Angular, where they can browse the menu, select items, and place orders. The backend, powered by Node.js and MySQL, ensures real-time updates and robust data management, while the REST API facilitates smooth communication between the front-end and back-end systems. This system significantly enhances the dining experience by reducing wait times, minimizing physical contact, and streamlining the ordering process. It also optimizes restaurant operations through effective order management and data handling
