The Smoking Hut application is a web-based platform for a restaurant specializing in smoked and grilled dishes, developed using the PHP Laravel framework. The application is designed to provide an efficient and user-friendly experience for customers to explore the menu, place orders, and stay updated with promotions and events.

Key Features:

1. Menu Display: The application offers an interactive menu with high-quality images, descriptions, and pricing for each dish. Categories are organized by type, such as appetizers, main courses, desserts, and beverages, making it easy for users to browse and select their meals.

2. Online Ordering System: Customers can place orders directly through the app, selecting items, customizing dishes, and specifying preferences (e.g., spice level, extra toppings). The ordering system allows users to review their orders, calculate totals, and proceed to checkout seamlessly.

3. Table Reservation: The application includes a reservation system where users can book tables in advance. They can choose their preferred date, time, and number of guests, receiving a confirmation once their reservation is secured.

4. Admin Dashboard: A custom admin panel was built with Laravel, allowing restaurant staff to manage orders, update the menu, handle reservations, and monitor promotions. The admin panel provides a clear overview of daily activities and order statuses, helping staff streamline their operations.

5. Customer Accounts: Customers can create accounts to save their order history, preferences, and favorite dishes. This feature enhances user engagement and provides a personalized experience, making it easy for returning customers to re-order their favorite meals.

6. Promotions and Announcements: The application supports special promotions and announcements, allowing the restaurant to notify customers of new menu items, discounts, or seasonal offerings. This feature keeps users informed and encourages them to explore more of the menu.

7. Responsive Design: The application is fully responsive, ensuring a smooth experience on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices, which is essential for customers ordering on the go.

This project highlights my ability to build a feature-rich restaurant application using Laravel, with essential functionalities for both customers and administrators, creating a modern, interactive, and efficient platform for Smoking Hut Restaurant.
