The problem

Kabul restaurants still take orders and bookings by phone, on paper, and lose some of them. Guests want to order from their phone in their own language. Staff need one screen to accept an order, mark it ready and confirm a table.

What we built

  1. 01Ordering: a menu with photos, prices and categories, a bag with live totals and guest checkout
  2. 02Bookings: a two-step reservation flow; every request waits for staff to confirm instead of promising tables it can't see
  3. 03Staff workspace: accept, prepare and complete orders; confirm, seat or decline bookings; customers see each status change
  4. 04Menu control: edit dishes, prices and photos in three languages, mark items sold out, pause ordering
  5. 05Dari first, with Pashto and English, right-to-left throughout, and an audit trail for every staff action
