## What We're Building
|
||||
|
||||
A **local-first restaurant Point of Sale system**. Waiters use their phones to take orders at tables. Orders are tracked in real time, routed to thermal printers in the kitchen and bar, and managed by a supervisor via a web dashboard. The system runs entirely on the restaurant's local network — internet outages have zero impact on operations.
|
||||
|
||||
A lightweight **cloud backend** handles licensing only: it verifies that each restaurant installation has a valid license and can remotely lock a site if needed. It does not touch orders, menus, or users.
|
||||
|
||||
**What it is NOT:**
|
||||
- Not a payment processor (no card terminals, no fiscal integration)
|
||||
- Not an IRS/tax reporting system
|
||||
- Not a kitchen display system (KDS) — printing only
|
||||
- Not SaaS — each restaurant runs its own local instance
|
||||

|

|
||||
## Key Wiring: How Everything Connects
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Waiter/Manager → Local Backend
|
||||
- All REST API calls go to `VITE_API_URL` (e.g. `http://192.168.1.10:8000`)
|
||||
- JWT Bearer token in `Authorization` header (stored in localStorage)
|
||||
- On 401 response: token cleared, redirect to `/login`
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Local Backend → Cloud Backend (Heartbeat)
|
||||
- Background task in `cloud_sync.py`, fires on startup then every 6 hours
|
||||
- `POST {CLOUD_URL}/api/heartbeat/`
|
||||
- Headers: `X-Site-ID: <site_id>`, `X-Site-Key: <secret_key>`
|
||||
- Body: `{ version, uptime_seconds }`
|
||||
- Response: `{ licensed, locked, lock_reason, expires_at }`
|
||||
- Result stored in memory (`license_state` dict) and persisted to `license_state.json`
|
||||
- If cloud unreachable: uses last known state + 24h grace period
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. License Enforcement (Local Backend)
|
||||
- `LicenseCheckMiddleware` runs on every request
|
||||
- Reads `license_state` dict (in memory, updated by cloud sync)
|
||||
- If `locked = True` → HTTP 423 on all endpoints
|
||||
- If `licensed = False` → HTTP 402 on all endpoints
|
||||
- Exempt: `GET /api/system/health` always passes through
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Sysadmin Panel → Cloud Backend
|
||||
- All API calls go to `VITE_CLOUD_URL` (e.g. `http://localhost:8001`)
|
||||
- JWT Bearer token in `Authorization` header (stored as `sysadmin_token`)
|
||||
- On 401: redirect to `/login`
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Printer Routing (Local Backend)
|
||||
- Triggered automatically on `POST /api/orders/{id}/items`
|
||||
- `printer_service.py` groups items by `product.printer_zone_id`
|
||||
- For each printer zone: formats ESC/POS receipt, connects via TCP to `printer.ip_address:printer.port`
|
||||
- Greek text encoded as CP737 (n=29) bytes — raw `p._raw()` only, never `p.text()`
|
||||
- Print failure is logged but does NOT fail the order save (orders always save)
|
||||
- Items with no `printer_zone_id` are silently skipped
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Site Registration Flow
|
||||
1. Sysadmin opens Sysadmin Panel → Register New Site
|
||||
2. Form submitted → `POST /api/sites/` on cloud backend
|
||||
3. Cloud generates `site_id` (UUID) and `secret_key` (urlsafe random), stores hashed key
|
||||
4. Response includes plaintext `secret_key` — **shown once only**
|
||||
5. Sysadmin copies `SITE_ID` and `SITE_KEY` into `local_backend/.env`
|
||||
6. Local backend restarts → next heartbeat authenticates successfully
|
||||
7. Sysadmin Panel shows site as "Active" once heartbeat is received
|
||||

|

|
||||
## Printer Configuration
|
||||
|
||||
**Hardware:** Jolimark TP850UE, USB + Ethernet, static IP via NetFinder software.
|
||||
**Protocol:** ESC/POS over raw TCP, port 9100.
|
||||
**Paper:** 80mm = 48 characters wide at standard font.
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical Greek text rules:**
|
||||
- Code page: `n=29` (CP737). Set immediately after connecting: `p._raw(b'\x1b\x74\x1d')`
|
||||
- ALL text sent as raw CP737 bytes: `text.encode('cp737', errors='replace')`
|
||||
- Never use `p.text()` for Greek — it does not handle CP737 correctly
|
||||
- `p._raw(b'\x1b\x40')` to reset printer before each job
|
||||
|
||||
Printers are configured in the local DB (`printers` table) via Manager Dashboard → Settings. Each product gets assigned a `printer_zone_id` via Manager Dashboard → Products. Items with no zone assigned are silently skipped at print time.
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Auth Flow Details
|
||||
|
||||
### Waiter / Manager
|
||||
1. `POST /api/auth/login` with `{username, pin}`
|
||||
2. Backend verifies PIN with bcrypt, issues JWT (8h expiry)
|
||||
3. Token stored in `localStorage`
|
||||
4. All requests send `Authorization: Bearer <token>`
|
||||
5. On 401: token cleared, redirect to `/login`
|
||||
6. Manager Dashboard rehydrates user from `GET /api/auth/me` on app load
|
||||
|
||||
### Sysadmin (Cloud)
|
||||
1. `POST /api/auth/login` on cloud backend with `{username, password}`
|
||||
2. JWT stored as `sysadmin_token` in localStorage
|
||||
3. All cloud API requests send the token
|
||||
4. On 401: redirect to `/login`

## Order Lifecycle
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
Table available
|
||||
↓
|
||||
POST /api/orders/ → status: "open"
|
||||
↓
|
||||
POST /api/orders/{id}/items → items added, printer triggered
|
||||
↓
|
||||
POST /api/orders/{id}/pay (partial) → status: "partially_paid"
|
||||
↓
|
||||
POST /api/orders/{id}/pay (all items) → status: "paid"
|
||||
↓
|
||||
POST /api/orders/{id}/close → status: "closed", table becomes available
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Manager can also `DELETE` the order (status: "cancelled") or cancel individual items.

## Known Issues & Limitations (as of Phase 5 completion)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Product image upload** only works on existing products — no upload at creation time.
|
||||
2. **First heartbeat** happens on local backend startup, not on a fixed schedule. If the cloud is down at startup, the first successful heartbeat may be up to 6h later.
|
||||
3. **Some Manager Dashboard rough edges** remain (noted during Phase 3 smoke test) — not blockers.
|
||||
4. **SITE_KEY** must be copied immediately at registration — the cloud never stores or shows the plaintext key again. If lost, deregister and re-register the site.
|
||||
5. **Cloud sync on Docker networking**: `CLOUD_URL=http://cloud_backend:8001` works within Docker Compose (same network). For production VPS deployment, use the public HTTPS URL.
|
||||
6. **SQLite for cloud backend** is fine for a small number of sites (< 50). For scale, switch `DATABASE_URL` to PostgreSQL.

## Production Deployment Notes
|
||||
|
||||
- **Local backend**: Docker Compose on a Raspberry Pi 4 or any Linux box. Static LAN IP via DHCP reservation at the router.
|
||||
- **Cloud backend**: VPS with nginx reverse proxy + SSL (Let's Encrypt). Run `cloud_backend` container or as systemd service.
|
||||
- **Sysadmin panel**: Build with `vite build`, serve static files via nginx. Optionally protect with nginx basic auth.
|
||||
- **Waiter PWA**: Accessible from any phone on the LAN. For PWA install, serve over HTTPS (or use localhost on dev).
|
||||
- **Printers**: Static IPs assigned via NetFinder (Jolimark utility). Docker host must be on the same VLAN as printers, or routing must be configured.
