Tablenow is a real-time online reservation network web app for fine restaurants from different cities in Canada (Montreal, Ottawa and Niagara Region). It allows you to make online reservations and also read restaurant reviews from diners.
- The web application implements a reservation and availability system based on the opening hours of each restaurant, on the one hand, and on the other, it takes into account, based on the number of the party size, the number of tables in each restaurant, as well as the number of seats at each table.
- The project has a search bar on the homepage that displays a list of restaurants based on city, town or region searched. In each list of restaurant results the user has the option to even filter them based on price (cheap, regular, expensive), cuisine (french, peruvian, mexican, italian, etc.) and region.
- The project has sign in and sign up components to manage users.
- Each restaurant card component has a link page that displays more information about it (description, photos, reviews, menu and reservation options).
- Any visitor to our web application can make a reservation to a specific restaurant, but only users who have made a reservation to this restaurant and are registered will be able to leave a review on it.
- Thanks to the reliability, scalability, stability, and security provided by a PostgreSQL database, the project can be easily upscaled to include other cities from different regions across different countries.
