A fully functioning backend API for managing a restaurant system, including menu items, orders, and user roles (Manager, Delivery crew, and Customers). This API allows role-based access to ensure only authorized users can perform certain actions, like assigning delivery crew to orders or placing orders.
- Role-based access control: Manager, Delivery crew, and Customer roles with different access levels.
- Menu management: View and update menu items.
- Order management: Customers can create orders, managers can assign delivery crew, and delivery crew can update order status.
- JWT Authentication: Secure API endpoints using Djoser for authentication and role management.
- Filtering and Pagination: Efficient data retrieval with filtering and pagination features.
- Deployed on AWS EC2: The API is hosted on an AWS EC2 instance with Nginx and Gunicorn for production readiness.
- Backend Framework: Django, Django REST Framework
- Authentication: Djoser, JWT
- Database: SQLite
- Deployment: AWS EC2, Nginx, Gunicorn
- Tools: Postman, pipenv, Git
