List of back-end functions to implement: -GET, POST, PUT, and DEL requests by users. -API implementation of information/data that we require to make this app function. (ex. Cal Poly menu) -Database to store users' information (personal info, favorites, etc), transaction history, and other things that require storage. -Store Yelp-like reviews in database; learn how to store images and comments. -Real Time order status -- queue # (your place in "line" online) xD

How will we achieve this?: -Node.js is the environment that we program in and Express.js is the framework that will handle all the requests. -Learn how to implement the APIs, and how to use the data that the specific API offers. (ex. implement a user's get request with a response that sends the API data required). -(Sullivan exclusive) Learn how to connect the database with the rest of the app and how to receive and send information to be stored or acquired from the database. -Learn how to store reviews and then realtime update and upload them onto the app. -Realtime order status might be a little tricky, will require someone to realtime update the queue by putting orders being made to the "in-process" queue and deleting it from the "ordered" queue. Then once the "in-process" is complete move it to the "ready" queue. All of this with a clock or timer of some sort maybe.
