A full-stack point-of-sale and management platform built under Vizualabs to connect restaurant and retail operations, from order processing and inventory to staff, accounting, customer relationships, and multi-branch oversight.
Dine-Mate needed to bring a broad set of restaurant and retail workflows into one consistent interface while connecting a cloud-deployed application to location-specific hardware. The system had to remain clear for daily staff use, scalable across branches, and dependable when producing receipts through local thermal printers.
The resulting platform delivers a unified operational workspace with point-of-sale, analytics, stock control, workforce management, accounting, CRM, QR ordering, and multi-branch capabilities, supported by a hybrid desktop and backend architecture for reliable in-store printing.

It centralizes order processing, operational reporting, stock control, workforce workflows, customer relationships, and branch administration within one product.
The frontend uses React 18, TypeScript, and Vite 5, with Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui components built on Radix primitives. React Router DOM manages page navigation, while a dedicated API data layer coordinates fetching, caching, and server-state synchronization across the application.
A shared component system, reusable layout shell, and page-level routes support the POS terminal, analytics dashboard, inventory, staff and attendance tracking, accounting, CRM, multi-branch operations, and QR-based digital menu. Recharts powers data visualization, while date-fns provides consistent date handling throughout the interface.
The Java and Spring Boot backend handles core point-of-sale logic and entity persistence through Lombok-based models. It also delivers transactional communication using Thymeleaf-rendered HTML emails, Gmail SMTP, custom MIME composition, and branded message templates.
A hybrid ElectronJS and Spring Boot architecture bridges the cloud-hosted platform with restaurant hardware. Deployed on AWS Lightsail, the solution enables LAN-based thermal printer access for reliable in-store receipt printing without limiting the broader application to a local-only environment.
Dine-Mate demonstrated that a modern web platform can support both broad operational workflows and physical in-store infrastructure. Its strongest architectural decision was separating the scalable cloud experience from location-specific hardware access while keeping both parts connected through one dependable product workflow.
