Project Overview

An Australia restaurant group handled orders through separate mobile apps, QR menus, websites, and in-store kiosks without one live view of kitchen queues or menu availability. Staff re-entered items, promotions lagged behind dining room demand, and guests received generic menus instead of personalized suggestions. Starling Elevate scoped an AI Restaurant Ordering Platform built with Vibe Coding to unify digital ordering and back-of-house coordination.

The three-month project used Cursor and Antigravity for AI-assisted development, Node.js and PostgreSQL for the ordering backend, and Claude Sonnet for food recommendations and menu intelligence. Work covered unified order capture, AI menu personalization, smart kitchen routing, real-time operations dashboards, guest engagement features, and restaurant performance analytics.

Restaurant owners, floor managers, and kitchen leads needed one platform that synced channels without slowing service during peak hours. The scope included contactless QR Ordering, dynamic menu updates, dietary-aware recommendations, kitchen station routing, loyalty-driven promotions, and reporting on order trends, menu performance, and average ticket value.

The team structured delivery around order flow mapping and menu data design, followed by Vibe Coding sprints, multi-channel integration, pilot rollout by venue format, and tuning from order-to-serve times and guest repeat visit data.
