## Overview

This is an Express/MongoDB restaurant-management API. Clients enter through versioned routes; authentication and role checks protect selected operations, controllers implement account, restaurant, category, menu, and order actions, and Mongoose models persist the results. The README documents the broader CRUD and order-status capabilities; some corresponding source was not sampled, so those links follow the documented route/controller structure without asserting finer internal calls.

Main entry points: [`server.js`](https://github.com/duttaabhirupdev10/restaurant_foodapp/blob/main/server.js) (Express server), [`utils/logger.js`](https://github.com/duttaabhirupdev10/restaurant_foodapp/blob/main/utils/logger.js) (Logging), [`routes/foodRoutes.js`](https://github.com/duttaabhirupdev10/restaurant_foodapp/blob/main/routes/foodRoutes.js) (Food routes), [`middleware/authMiddleware.js`](https://github.com/duttaabhirupdev10/restaurant_foodapp/blob/main/middleware/authMiddleware.js) (JWT verification)
