Restaurant POS

Thai Restaurant POS Frontend (Godot 4.2)

This project is a frontend Point-of-Sale (POS) system prototype built entirely with Godot 4.2, designed for a fictional Thai restaurant. The goal of this project is to demonstrate how Godot, typically used for game development, can also be used as a rich, responsive UI framework for business applications such as restaurant POS systems.

Overview

The application simulates the core user experience of a restaurant POS terminal:

• Navigating categories of Thai dishes

• Selecting menu items and modifiers

• Building and reviewing an order

• Applying basic calculations (subtotal, tax, total)

• Mock “checkout” flow

All UI, logic, and interaction are implemented in Godot 4.2 with GDScript, without relying on any external web technologies or UI frameworks.

Key Features

• Category-based menu layout (e.g., Appetizers, Noodles, Curry, Drinks)

• Order summary panel showing selected items, quantity, and line totals

• Quantity adjustment (add/remove items, change portions)

• Basic bill calculation (subtotal, tax, grand total – all local, no backend)

• Responsive UI layout targeted for touchscreen/tablet-style resolutions

• Clean, themeable UI suitable for Thai restaurant branding and aesthetics

Technology

• Engine: Godot 4.2

• Language: GDScript

• Architecture: Frontend-only, scene-based UI

• Platform: Desktop/tablet (can be exported to multiple platforms supported by Godot)

What This Project Is (and Isn’t)

This project is intentionally focused on the frontend experience:

• ✅ Demonstrates how Godot can be used to build a POS-style interface

• ✅ Showcases UI/UX flow for creating and managing an order

• ❌ No backend integration

• ❌ No real database for storing receipts or customer information

• ❌ No printer integration or hardware support yet

All data (menu items, prices, tax rate, etc.) is currently stored in-memory or in simple configuration data within the Godot project.

Future Improvements (Planned / Possible)

• Integration with a real backend API for orders and receipts

• Database support for menu management, order history, and customers

• Printer integration for kitchen and receipt printers

• User accounts / roles (cashier, manager, etc.)

• Localization for multiple languages (Thai/English)
