Features

Create and search restaurants

Account holders are able to advertise their restaurants on this site to get more people to eat in. Restaraunt owners may name it, set the address, add images, set the pricing and more.

Whether or not they have an account, people are allowed to search for nearby restauraunts around their area based on available seats.

Reservations

Hungry people looking for nearby restaurants may reserve seats ahead of time, so they don't have to wait when they get to the restaraunt. People who have reservations are able to cut ahead of the line and don't have to wait to be seated.

This also benefit the restaraunt since it'll save time by already having the seats reserved and so they can use the extra time to provide quicker, high quality service.

Ratings/reviews

These are used to guage interaction between the customers and the restaraunt. Ratings are tied to the restaraunt but are created by the customers.

Note: Reviews are not private, so the reviews should be honest and provide valid criticsm.

Favorites

Users who find a restaraunts they love or really want to go visit in the future, may bookmark them in the future.

Getting started

1. Clone this repository

2. Install dependencies

   pipenv install --dev -r dev-requirements.txt --python=python3 && pipenv install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a .env file based on the example with proper settings for your development environment

4. Setup your PostgreSQL user, password and database and make sure it matches your .env file

5. Get into your pipenv, seed your database, and run your flask app

   pipenv shell

   python -m database && flask run

6. To run the React App in development, checkout the README inside the client directory.

---

IMPORTANT! If you add any python dependencies to your pipfiles, you'll need to regenerate your requirements.txt before deployment. You can do this by running:

pipenv lock -r > requirements.txt

ALSO IMPORTANT! psycopg2-binary MUST remain a dev dependency because you can't install it on apline-linux. There is a layer in the Dockerfile that will install psycopg2 (not binary) for us.
