Cornershop-Meals

Cornershop meals is a meal management app built using Python-Django that provides a very convenient way of meal reservation to employees. This app has following features:

There is a custom Login page, Signup page, Employee profiles and Admin panel.
Admin can create a menu with various options for employees to choose, modify the menu and send Slack messages to all the employees in the company.
Employees can login using their credentials, view the menu and make their food selection. Employees cannot make a selection after 11 AM ET, they also have option to write custom notes to modify their meals or mention their diet restrictions.
Employees can only view their own selection, not the selection of other employees.
Admin can view selections of all the employees.

Go to the menu page to see what's in today's menu and use the app!
