Case file — No. 03A. Yadav · Product engineer

Order online. Staff own the menu. No developer needed.

Client: Lavish Cafe
Role: Design + build, solo
Stack: Next.js · Stripe · Node.js
Status: Live

§1 — Outcome

5 separate workflows replaced by 1. Phone orders, WhatsApp messages, spreadsheet inventory, manual price changes, and paper receipts - all gone. Stripe checkout live. Menu updates in under 30 seconds.

§2 — The problem

Lavish Cafe needed a complete digital operations layer — not just a website. Customers had no way to browse or order online. The team had no system for managing the menu, tracking inventory or handling incoming orders without a phone call.

§3 — What I built

01Customer menu — browse items, add to cart, place order online
02Stripe checkout — secure payments with order confirmation
03Admin panel — menu items, pricing, categories and availability
04Inventory management — stock tracking and low-stock alerts
05Order management — incoming orders, status updates, completion

§4 — Exhibits

Lavish Cafe — customer menu and ordering — Exhibit A — customer menu and ordering flow

Lavish Cafe — Stripe checkout — Exhibit B — Stripe checkout and payment flow

Lavish Cafe — admin orders panel — Exhibit C — admin order management dashboard

Lavish Cafe — admin product management — Exhibit D — admin menu and product management (the team runs this themselves)
