Overview of System Architecture

Pavilion is structured as a modular Django application, designed to efficiently handle order management, point-of-sale operations, and inventory tracking. The system is built with scalability and real-time updates in mind, ensuring smooth coordination between different food service roles.

Core Components:

1. Order Processing System – Manages order intake, routing, and fulfillment tracking.
2. Point of Sale (POS) System – Handles order placement, payment processing, and gift card transactions.
3. Inventory Management System – Tracks stock levels and prevents shortages.
4. Device Authorization – Ensures only approved devices can access POS-related functionality.
5. Real-Time Communication – Ensures that orders and inventory updates reflect across all necessary stations.
