The rapid growth of the food and beverage industry has increased the need for efficient and automated management systems. Traditional café management methods often rely on manual processes, leading to inefficiencies, errors, and reduced customer satisfaction. This research paper presents the design and development of the Lumière Café Management System, a full-stack web-based application aimed at streamlining café operations including order processing, inventory tracking, staff management, and reporting. The system leverages modern web technologies such as React for the frontend, Node.js with Express for backend services, and SQL-based databases for persistent data storage. The application provides role-based access for administrators and staff, enabling efficient task allocation and monitoring. The results demonstrate improved operational efficiency, reduced human errors, and enhanced decision-making capabilities through real-time data insights.
