Bella Forno
A commission-free ordering system with a full back-of-house, built end to end to show what a real restaurant build looks like.
View live demo ↗Overview
A complete restaurant operating system I designed and built myself. Guests order online and pay by card (test mode in the demo), while staff get their own views for the kitchen, the floor, servers, and the owner. It's a concept build with no client behind it, made to prove I can ship a real, payment-handling product and not just a pretty page.
The problem
Delivery apps take 15 to 30% of every order and own the customer on top of it. Bella Forno shows the alternative: a restaurant's own ordering channel with no per-order cut, and the full floor and kitchen system running behind it.
What I built
- Guest checkout backed by Stripe (real card payments, test-mode in the demo)
- Live order tracking from placed → in the kitchen → ready
- Role-based staff app: kitchen display, floor map, server view, manager + owner dashboards
- Inventory, vendors, purchase orders, and recipe/ingredient costing
- Multi-location data model (multi-tenant by design)
- Menu, availability, and featured-dish management
What it demonstrates
Proof I can build a payment-handling, multi-role operational system end to end, not just a marketing page. Everything here is live, so go place a test order and watch it land on the kitchen view.
How it's built
