Pet Café

Pet Café is a web application designed to manage a pet-friendly café that integrates community features with animal adoption services. The system provides customers with a seamless experience for browsing products, reserving tables and exploring adoptable animals.

• Reservations: Reserve tables by selecting date, time, and table.
• Role-Based Access Control: Different permissions for administrators and customers.
• Pet-match: It matches a pet for adoption based on the user's preferences.

Technical Details

• Frontend: Thymeleaf + React (npm start)
• UI/Styling: Bootstrap for a responsive and user-friendly interface
• Design Patterns: Observer pattern used for adoption request notifications
