The Restaurant Admin Dashboard is a MERN Stack project that combines Settings page and Interactive charts, built with JWT auth. The project follows a clean, modular architecture where the React frontend, Express API, and MongoDB database stay separated, making it easy to test, extend, and present. It showcases practical full stack techniques while producing a working, demo-ready application.
Traditional offline and manual processes for this task are slow, limited to one place, and hard to scale. Without a full stack web approach built on Interactive charts and JWT auth, users cannot access, manage, and share data easily from any device, and there is no centralized way to run the workflow.
This project applies MERN Stack techniques through Settings page, orchestrated with JWT auth and Interactive charts. The application is designed for usability and scale, with a responsive frontend, robust API, and clean data layer. It produces consistent, reusable results and can be adapted to related full stack tasks with minimal changes.

Authentication and data persistence
The project is layered: the client layer builds the UI through Settings page; the API layer exposes endpoints with JWT auth and Interactive charts; and the data layer persists information via Filter controls. Shared auth, validation, and state management modules support all layers, keeping the application robust and easy to extend.
