TOMATO

A food-ordering product is a useful full-stack exercise because a simple interface depends on coordinated state, identity, backend contracts, payments, and administrative order handling.

Only repository-verifiable features are presented. The project does not claim real-time tracking, WebSockets, analytics, production scale, or business impact.

A responsive React client uses context state and REST contracts to connect with Node.js and Express services, MongoDB persistence, JWT authentication, and Stripe payments.

Discovery, cart, checkout, identity, administration, and order lifecycle are treated as connected product workflows rather than isolated screens.

Users can discover products, manage a cart, authenticate, check out, and work through an order lifecycle. Administrative workflows support the product side of the same contracts.

JWT protects authenticated actions, while payment handling is delegated through the Stripe integration rather than reproduced in custom client logic.

The repository documents implementation behavior. No test-count or scale claims are added without direct verification.

TOMATO demonstrates end-to-end product thinking across interface state, backend APIs, persistence, authentication, payment, and administration.

The project is not presented as a production delivery platform and does not claim live tracking, analytics, or real-world operational scale.

Full-stack quality depends on the clarity of contracts between workflows, not just the polish of individual screens.
