The Challenge
What the client was up against
Front desk, kitchen, and management each used a different tool, and none of them talked to each other. A room booked at reception wasn't visible to the kitchen. Worse, when something went wrong — a comped meal, a modified booking — there was no reliable record of who changed what, which made both internal accountability and external audits painful.
Our Approach
How we solved it
Permissions before features
We designed the role model first — front desk, kitchen, management, admin — and enforced it at the API layer rather than in the UI. Every endpoint checks the caller's role before it does anything, so an unauthorised action fails even if someone reaches the endpoint directly.
One reservation, visible everywhere
Reservations, room state, and food orders became a single connected model. When reception books a room, the kitchen sees it. When a guest orders room service, it attaches to the stay and lands on the folio automatically.
Log it or it didn't happen
Every state change writes an immutable activity record: who, what, when, and the before-and-after values. Management can answer 'who modified this booking' in seconds instead of reconstructing it from memory.
What We Built
Inside the solution
- Room reservation management with live availability
- Food service ordering tied to guest stays and folios
- Role-based access control enforced server-side
- Immutable activity log with before/after values on every change
- Management reporting across occupancy and food service
- Compliance-ready audit export
Technology
- React
- TypeScript
- NestJS
- PostgreSQL
- Prisma
The Outcome
Consolidated reservations, food service, and staff permissions into one auditable system.
- 1
- System replacing three disconnected tools
- Full
- Audit trail on every state-changing action
- Seconds
- To answer 'who changed this booking?'
Enforce permissions at the API, not in the UI. A hidden button is a suggestion; a rejected request is a rule.
