Merry Berry Acai

// Overview

A full-stack e-commerce web application built for a real smoothie and açaí shop. Customers browse the menu, customise their order (base, toppings, size, allergy notes), and check out through an integrated payment flow. Staff have a separate management interface for updating menu items, marking items out of stock, and viewing live order queues. Team project.

// Challenges

Handling deeply nested customisation options (bowl base → protein add-on → topping selection → allergen note) without the form state becoming unmanageable. Keeping the inventory status in sync between the customer-facing menu and the staff dashboard in near-real-time.

// Outcomes

A production-ready ordering platform delivered to a real client. The customisation UX received positive feedback — customers found the multi-step order flow clear. The stock management system let staff update availability without touching code.
