posted an update —

Due to the time I couldn't finish the above, so here is the update

the system works like a bridge between the user and food providers (restaurant, cafe), it uses chat to utilize that, the user can find a near by food provider and chat with them, the chat is not just chats it also contains food/drink menu suggestion mechanisms and also the ability to order either from the suggestions or from the menu (has a way to update the order ststus as pending confirmation, pending payment and others.

The system uses descope as to create a authentication flow, to let the user choose to register as user or food providers, if the user choices to be a provider the system ask for some more information that is save on descope user custom attributes, this allow me to focus more on the functionality. I used nuxt with nuxt-auth that uses next-auth. I used the descope api to get the full user object

They system also uses yugabyte database to store the user, company profile, company food menu, the chat and others. It will allow me scale up as user use it more on different locations,the prisma connection documentation really help me out.
