## Overview

This Java desktop application provides counter ordering and kitchen order monitoring. A staff member enters through the workspace menu, authenticates for the counter, builds and confirms an order, then kitchen staff view assigned items and advance their status. The README also describes menu management, station routing, queues, and operational reporting, but the sampled implementation exposes counter and kitchen screens rather than separate service modules; reporting and menu administration are not evidenced in the tree. Order state appears in memory; the sampled database access supports cashier authentication only.
