This project is a modular kitchen and ordering API built with Flask, designed to streamline the management of food orders within a microservices architecture. It provides a RESTful interface for scheduling, tracking, updating, and canceling kitchen orders, making it ideal for restaurant automation, cloud kitchens, or food delivery platforms.
- Modular Microservices Design: Each service operates independently, enhancing scalability and maintainability.
- Flask-Smorest Integration: Utilizes Flask-Smorest for structured API development and documentation.
- Robust Data Validation: Employs Marshmallow schemas to ensure data integrity and consistency.
- Flexible Querying: Supports filtering of schedules based on status, time, and limits via query parameters.
- Comprehensive Order Management: Enables full lifecycle management of kitchen orders, including creation, updates, and cancellations.
- Restaurant Automation: Integrate with POS systems to automate kitchen order processing.
- Cloud Kitchens: Manage multiple virtual kitchen operations efficiently.
- Food Delivery Platforms: Coordinate order preparation and delivery seamlessly.
- Flask: A lightweight WSGI web application framework.
- Flask-Smorest: An extension for building REST APIs with Flask.
- Marshmallow: A library for object serialization and deserialization.
- UUID: For generating unique identifiers for orders.
- Datetime: For handling scheduling timestamps.
In this project, you’ll learn how to:
- ✅ Create an API with FastAPI
- 🧾 Use Pydantic for data validation and serialization
- 📤 Perform CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
- 🧪 Test your endpoints using Swagger UI
- 🧠 Manage order statuses (e.g., Created, In Progress, Cancelled)
Follow these steps to get the project running on your machine.
