Menu, payment proofs, daily cap, kitchen list.

How it’s built

The part owners skip and engineers read.

How it works
StackLaravel, rendered on the server so it opens fast on a phone
MoneyDerived from the payment rows, in centavos, never typed in
AuditEvery payment event appended to a log nobody can edit
TestsOver a thousand automated checks, run on every push through GitHub Actions
DeploysThe deploy script reads the diff, runs the gates, and refuses to ship on red
MigrationsAdditive only, rehearsed against a restored live database
BackupsNightly, with a restore proven before launch

Questions people ask

QuestionAnswer
Do we stop using Messenger?No. Staff paste those orders into one form.
Who owns it?You. Domain in your name, records yours, logins handed over any time.
GCash and bank transfers?Yes. Same screenshots, checked in the system instead of the chat.
If you get sick, or stop?Ordinary Laravel another developer can pick up. The handover pack has logins, backups and notes.
