PartyCorna
PartyCorna is a seamless event social platform and ordering system delivered as a Progressive Web App (PWA). It enhances the guest experience by combining an social feed, real-time messaging, and networking features with a digital ordering interface. For venue staff, the platform streamlines operations through integrated Kitchen Display Systems (KDS) and waiter dispatching tools, ensuring faster service and efficient order tracking from preparation to delivery.
> Deployed via a Dockerized LEMP stack (Nginx, PHP 8.3-FPM, MariaDB 10.6), this application utilizes a Vanilla JavaScript (ES6) frontend styled with Tailwind CSS. The architecture leverages Server-Sent Events (SSE) via a stateless API to power real-time feeds, chat, and order status updates without websocket overhead. Backend features include chunked large-file uploads processed by FFmpeg for video optimization and GD Library for image watermarking. The system implements role-based authentication to serve distinct interfaces for Guests, Admins, Kitchen Staff, and Waiters.
