Restaurant Booking System

This project introduces a web-based restaurant table booking system developed using PHP and MySQL. It aims to improve efficiency, reduce scheduling conflicts, and offer a better customer experience by digitizing the reservation process. Traditional booking methods such as manual registers or phone-based reservations often lead to mismanagement, overbooking, and longer customer wait times. The system allows users to select a date, time slot, and number of guests, and reserve a table through a simple and responsive web interface. The admin panel provides restaurant staff with an overview of daily bookings and management of table availability. This application utilizes HTML, CSS, and JavaScript on the client side, with PHP handling server-side operations and MySQL serving as the database, enabling efficient real-time reservation management. User authentication secures administrative functions such as managing table data or editing reservations. This lightweight, browser-accessible solution is especially beneficial for small and mid-sized restaurants. Future versions may include SMS/email confirmations, multi-branch support, and calendar API integration. The project offers an effective, scalable alternative to traditional reservation systems.
