🍔 Food Ordering Application

A full-stack web application built using Java (JSP, Servlets), JDBC, and MySQL. The project allows users to browse and order food, while admins can manage menu items, categories, and orders.

The goal of this project is to develop a user-friendly online food ordering system that streamlines the process of browsing menus, placing orders, and managing food items. It aims to bridge the gap between restaurants and customers through a digital platform, offering convenience, efficiency, and real-time order management for both users and administrators.
