## Overview

This repository is a skeletal hot-pot restaurant ordering and administration website. Its intended customer journey is menu browsing, bowl customization, cart review, and pickup-time checkout; it also has account/history pages and admin screens for menus, orders, and stock. The sampled pages mostly contain placeholders, so only documented links and visible includes are shown. The README provides no additional capability details, and the SQL files are represented as schema rather than evidence of unshown application behavior.

Main entry points: [`includes/header.php`](https://github.com/shein1101/malatang/blob/main/includes/header.php) (Shared header), [`includes/footer.php`](https://github.com/shein1101/malatang/blob/main/includes/footer.php) (Shared footer), [`public/menu.php`](https://github.com/shein1101/malatang/blob/main/public/menu.php) (Menu browsing), [`public/checkout.php`](https://github.com/shein1101/malatang/blob/main/public/checkout.php) (Pickup checkout)
