What is restaurant-digitalization-blueprint?

This repository does not contain any source code. It is a written blueprint, in Chinese, documenting how a real skewer and barbecue restaurant chain in China built a full digital system covering ordering, inventory, production, finance, store operations, and franchise expansion, using a single person working together with AI coding assistants. The authors explain that instead of sharing their actual codebase, they chose to share what they consider more valuable: the architecture decisions, the definitions used for business metrics, a record of mistakes made along the way with their causes and the resulting rules adopted to avoid repeating them, and a set of thirteen ordered instructions written in plain language that a reader can hand directly to an AI coding assistant to rebuild a similar system from scratch. It explicitly does not include recipes, ingredient amounts, financial or tax details, or any real operating data. The system itself is split into four separately deployed pieces: a backend, an admin web app, a store-facing mini program, and a public website, with the backend acting as the single hub for data and interfaces. The documentation covers fourteen business modules in detail, plus six recurring design principles the authors say they validated repeatedly, such as giving every value-changing operation exactly one entry point with a full log, and freezing prices at the moment of a transaction rather than reading live prices later. A reader can approach the material three ways: a short read for a restaurant owner or business lead, a deeper multi-hour read for a technical lead, or handing the whole repository to an AI coding assistant such as Claude Code along with a suggested starter prompt, defaulting to a Django, MySQL, Redis, and Celery stack, though the authors note the technology choice can be swapped as long as the same patterns are kept. Each replication instruction includes its own checklist so the AI's claim of being finished can be verified. The project is released under the MIT license.
