Still building

This project is still being put together. Here is what is in place and what is left.

Panel with a real-time order board, POS, kitchen display, cash register and history
Menu with add-ons and options, customers, coupons and reviews
Delivery areas with distance-based fees, couriers, opening hours and payment methods
Performance reports (sales, products, customers, cancellations)
Sign-up, subscription with a free trial and in-house login
WhatsApp, marketing, loyalty, store credit, tables, finance and inventory (placeholder screens today)
Online Pix payments with payouts to the restaurant
End-customer accounts

Worth calling out

Real-time orders
A board by stage that updates on its own, with POS and kitchen display.
Store with no sign-up
Customers order from the browser, with no account and no per-order fee for the restaurant.
End-to-end contracts
Store, panel and API share the same contracts: a change breaks the build before it breaks a screen.
Distance-based delivery fee
The restaurant draws radius bands on a map and the fee comes from the distance to the customer.

The problem

The owner of a small restaurant or snack bar in inland Goiás, Brazil, usually runs the menu, delivery orders and management across separate tools, or on paper. Nothing talks to each other, and there's no single view of what's leaving the kitchen.

And the people using it aren't technical: everything has to be obvious without a manual.

The solution

Vapt Food brings three things together: the digital menu, the restaurant's own online store and a management panel. Customers order from their phone's browser without creating an account, choose delivery or pickup and track the order. The restaurant gets its own store, with no fee per order.

In the panel, orders arrive on a real-time board, split by stage. It also holds the POS for the counter, the kitchen display, the cash register, order history, the menu with add-ons, customers, coupons, reviews, delivery areas and performance reports.

The project is still being built: WhatsApp, marketing, loyalty, tables, finance and inventory are still placeholder screens, and online Pix payments are on the roadmap.

How it works

It is a monorepo with three Next.js and React web apps (landing, store and panel) and a NestJS API with Postgres. Contracts live in a shared package and the clients used by the store and the panel are generated from them, so a contract change breaks the build before it breaks a screen.

The order board updates in real time, with no page reloads for the restaurant. The delivery fee comes from the distance to the customer, using radius bands the restaurant draws on a map, and subscriptions start with a free trial.

To keep the visuals consistent I wrote a tool that puts the design reference next to the built screen, and the main flows have end-to-end tests.
