Cheezious — Online Food Ordering System built by Adnan Ali

The Challenge

Cheezious, one of Pakistan's fastest-growing restaurant chains, needed a fully custom online ordering system to handle thousands of simultaneous orders across multiple branches. Their existing setup couldn't scale and lacked real-time coordination between kitchens, delivery riders, and customers.

The Solution

Built a complete food ordering ecosystem from scratch using Next.js for the storefront and admin dashboards, NestJS for high-performance APIs, PostgreSQL for reliable order data, and Redis for caching and real-time session management. Implemented Socket.IO for live order tracking, integrated POS machines for in-store coordination, and built kitchen display screens that update in real time. Deployed on AWS with Docker for seamless scaling during peak hours.

Key Features

Real-time order tracking with live map updates

POS machine integration for in-store order coordination

Kitchen display screens with automatic order routing

Multi-branch management with centralized admin dashboard

Scalable API architecture handling thousands of concurrent orders

Real-time analytics and sales reporting with Chart.js

Results & Impact

The platform successfully handles thousands of simultaneous orders during peak hours across all Cheezious branches. Reduced order processing time by 60% and delivery coordination errors by 80%. The system processes orders for one of Pakistan's most popular restaurant chains with 99.9% uptime.
