Canteen Application

The Challenge

The organization needed a modern, intuitive meal booking system for its canteen across multiple locations.

Existing solutions were outdated, difficult to use, and lacked a unified experience across SharePoint and Teams. Employees faced friction when reserving meals, and administrators had no streamlined way to manage bookings, monitor capacity, or ensure real-time accuracy.

Integrating with the on-premises SQL database added further complexity, making it challenging to provide a reliable, scalable, and efficient booking experience
