Problem and introduction

The project

The project I will be working on is a small CMS to help small restaurants to manage their menus. The application will allow a restaurant team to submit menus ideas and select the one that is going to be published on the website. Each menu is composed of several meals. Therefore:

• The users will be able to create meals and to add meals to a menu.
• The user whose role is “Manager” will be able to publish the menu on the website.
• Each user will be able to delete their own menus but not the others’.
