Ahmedabad student's restaurant software models orders as shared state transitions
A Computer Engineering student in Ahmedabad is building RestaurantOS, a restaurant operations product from his company Nirvaan Tech. The system links the owner, waiter, kitchen, and cashier around a single order that moves through a defined sequence from placement to payment. The author says the main challenge was defining which role may change an order and when, rather than the interface itself. Instead of separate dashboards, each order is treated as a state machine in which each role can only advance it according to its responsibilities. The author is asking other developers in logistics, healthcare, and similar fields for feedback on where this approach may fail.
