Different problem than my last one (a salon booking app): instead of fixed time slots, this is a live queue β guest joins from their phone, sees their position update in real time, and gets a "table's ready" moment. Host side has a live dashboard to manage the line, seat people, and add walk-ins.
Trickiest part was making the queue position feel actually live without it being janky β recalculating position/wait time cleanly every time the host moves someone.
Demo/portfolio project, not a real restaurant, built solo. If anyone's dealt with a no-reservation spot (or built something like this before), curious what I'm missing that a real host stand would actually need.
