The client required a mobile application that could function as a restaurant & hotel reservation system for their business. ValueCoders provided a tailored solution that met all the client's requirements, enhancing business operations and improving customer experience.
The client wanted an easy-to-use application offering Hotel/Restaurant rooms, table management, and reservation. To meet the requirements, our team developed a featured-packed mobile application offering the following features:
● Connectedness
The application enables vendors to connect with the right customers seeking comfortable accommodation & food.
● Customization
Apart from rooms, guests/customers can book tables at restaurants & hotels and subscribe for discounted rates and special offers.
● Easy & Fast Booking Process
The application seamlessly works, and the guests/customers will experience an easy and quick booking summary showing all the relevant details of their transactions. They will receive automatic booking confirmations, reminders, cancellation notices, and feedback requests via email or text.
● Effective Management of Guests with Increased Loyalty
Guests can receive the benefits provided by vendors once they reach the benchmark.
● Multi-Language Support With Speech-to-text Guests Conversion
Guests/Customers can select a preferred table or leave special instructions with their reservations & communicate in any language.
● Automatic Reminders & Confirmations
This feature allows customers to add themselves to a waitlist or sign up for a reminder. It also notifies the guests when a takeout order is ready.
● Restaurant/Hotel Menu & Tables
The hotel manager can modify the menu and tables according to availability, and a new menu can also be added to the menu card.
● Security Measures
The system uses various security measures like data encryption, two-factor authentication, and regular data backups to ensure data security.
● Maintenance & Support
The system uses various security measures such as data encryption, two-factor authentication, and regular data backups to ensure data security.
The following are the requirements and specifications of this project:

This project focuses mainly on computerizing hotel & restaurant management consequent upon numerous problems faced by the manual handling of hotel information. The objective of this study is thus to design and develop an online hotel and restaurant management and reservation system that will:
● To provide an easy way to automate information about the day-to-day activities of a hotel and restaurant, such as an online facility for checking the availability of rooms, ordering food, table reservation, and also booking the room and event hall.
● Facilitate increased productivity, decreased paperwork, and ability to analyze trouble spots.
● To maintain security and secrecy of the hotel details.
● To provide accurate data when it is required.
PROCESS
The process typically involves the following steps:
The primary goal of this application is to provide guests with a seamless and hassle-free experience while ensuring that the hotel or restaurant can efficiently manage their table and room availability.
● DOCUMENTATION
This system is designed to allow users to make and manage reservations for tables and rooms at a hotel or restaurant. The system includes a user-friendly interface, a robust database, payment gateway integration, security measures, and system maintenance and support. This system provides users with a seamless and hassle-free reservation experience.
● PROJECT ARCHITECTURE
User Interface: The application’s front-end layer is responsible for displaying the user interface to the customer. This layer includes a mobile application that allows users to search available rooms or tables, view pricing and amenities, and make reservations.
Business Logic: This layer is responsible for processing the user’s requests, checking availability, calculating prices, and managing reservations. It includes several microservices that handle different aspects of the reservation process, such as booking, payment processing, and customer communication.
Data Storage: This layer is responsible for storing all the information related to the hotel and restaurant, such as available rooms and tables, pricing, customer information, and reservation details. It uses a MySQL database for data storage.
APIs: APIs are used to facilitating communication between different components of the system. The application uses APIs to retrieve information about available rooms and tables from the business logic layer, while the business logic layer uses APIs to store or retrieve data from the database.
Payment Gateway: This is the payment processing layer responsible for securely processing customer payments. Stripe payment gateway is used in the application.
Notification System: This layer sends notifications to customers regarding their reservations. It could include email or SMS notifications sent to customers when their reservations are confirmed, updated, or canceled.
Folder Structure: Separate folders for components, screens, assets, and utilities. First, create a base folder, “src” which will store all the necessary folders or files for the project. assets/ This folder will store all the assets we use in react-native.
All static files, like fonts and images, are in this folder. Also, added more assets like videos in this folder.
Components/
In the components folder, create multiple component files to wrap the application components and determine their overall layout. Add reusable and UI components and divide components based on categories: atoms, molecules, & templates.
Localization/
This is used for localization and globalization. Multi-language configuration
store/
This is used for state management (redux-saga) where I have created store services for each module.
screens/
This is used for all screen components.
constants/
This is used for placing colors code, images, and other constants in a single place.
Navigation: Navigation is an important aspect of any mobile application. A popular navigation library React Navigation is used, which provides a simple and customizable API for handling different types of navigation.
State Management: Managing the application state is crucial for building scalable and maintainable applications. Redux saga is used in this application for state management.
APIs & Services: This application requires communication with APIs and services. Axios is used for handling API requests.
Styling: Native wind is used for styling components.
Testing: Jest is used for testing libraries and components.
Localization: This application supports multiple languages. For localization i18next is used.
