Planning a restaurant ordering system
"I want a restaurant management system" is not a plan. Here is the same idea, worked all the way through.
This is a sample entry. The structure is final; the full write-up is on its way.
We take a single sentence and push it through the planning sequence until it becomes something an engineer could start on — roles, journeys, data, and a first release small enough to finish.
Who are the roles?
| Role | What they need | First release |
|---|---|---|
| Guest | Browse, order, pay | Yes |
| Server | Open tables, adjust orders, close bills | Yes |
| Kitchen | See what to cook, in what order | Yes |
| Manager | See the day, the stock and the money | Reporting only |
Once the roles exist, the rest of the plan stops being a wish list and starts being a set of journeys with obvious boundaries.

Built something in Lovable you want people to rely on?
We are the engineers who take it the rest of the way — secured, tested, released and supported.
