Let's Create Food Ordering Website Step by Step

A. Designing Awesome Website for Restaurant Business using HTML and CSS

B. Creating Content Management System (Admin Panel) and making the website functional

Simply, Content Management System is an Admin Dashboard protected with Username and Password. Only authenticated users can access this panel.

And from this panel, an Admin can Create new Categories or Foods, Update or Delete Existing Ones.

They can also manage the Order submitted by the customers and can also track the food delivery status.

Similarly a Home Dashboard also shows the summary of total foods, total categories, total orders, revenue generated, etc.

So, let's begin creating this Content Management System or Admin panel for our Food Order Website using PHP programming language and MySQL Database.

1. Importing Website Design and Creating Database

Here is the ER Diagram for our Database Design of Food Ordering Website.

In this table we'll add the information of the individual foods available on website.

And the information like Food Name, Food Image, Food Category (Selected from tbl_category), price, settings to show/hide food and featured or not, etc.
