Qmanage • Full-Stack Food Ordering Platform

Qmanage is a full-stack food ordering and management platform built with Node.js, Express, EJS, and MongoDB.
It has evolved from a static frontend into a server-rendered, data-driven web application with a modular backend and rich frontend interactivity.

The project demonstrates real-world full-stack concepts including MVC architecture, RESTful APIs, server-side rendering, and dynamic frontend behavior.
