We designed a hybrid edge-cloud architecture. Locally, each restaurant runs a lightweight Docker container containing a Node.js edge-sync daemon and a localized database replica. Waitstaff send orders via responsive Android tablets directly to the local edge cluster via local Wi-Fi, bypassing outer network latency. The local POS resolves orders in under 150ms and routes them to kitchen display grids immediately.

If outer internet drops, the restaurant continues to operate at full capacity. Local sales are logged securely in the encrypted edge cluster. Once internet connectivity is restored, the edge daemon runs an optimistic conflict-free replicated data type (CRDT) synchronization protocol to sync sales data back to the central AWS-hosted Django ledger database, updating stock metrics in real time.

To support corporate decision-making, we designed a responsive executive dashboard using React and Tailwind CSS. Franchise managers can filter real-time transaction indices, inspect dynamic labor-cost distributions, and configure supply threshold alerts from any mobile device.

We also implemented automated security pipelines to ensure compliance with PCI-DSS payment regulations. All payment payloads are tokenized at the edge before dispatching, preventing local storage of sensitive credit card details. The entire deployment is managed via GitHub Actions CI/CD to AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS), enabling continuous integration without downtime.
