The Challenge
Managing real-time order state across multiple kitchen stations, handling concurrent order modifications, and building a responsive kitchen display system that works reliably under high-volume conditions.
Architectural Decisions
◆Event-Driven Orders
WebSocket-based real-time order updates with optimistic UI patterns for instant feedback across all connected stations.
◆State Machine
Finite state machine for order lifecycle management, preventing invalid state transitions and ensuring data consistency.
◆Multi-Vendor Auth
Scoped authentication with vendor-specific views, ensuring data isolation while maintaining a unified admin experience.
◆Queue Management
Redis-backed queue with priority ordering for kitchen display, ensuring orders are processed in the correct sequence.
