Project overview

A digital platform for campus meal plans and catering ops

College Catering serves campus organizations with tailored meal plans and event catering. The Laravel application combines a public marketing site with student registration/login and role-based staff workspaces for chefs, sous-chefs, house directors, and administrators.

  • Meal-plan marketing
  • Student portal
  • Staff operations
  • Budgets & vendors

Challenge, solution, and approach

The challenge

From public meal plans to kitchen operations

Campus catering needs one system for public meal-plan discovery and the back-office work of menus, allergies, late plates, budgets, and multi-role staff—without scattering student and kitchen workflows across tools.

  • Prospects need clear paths for sorority, fraternity, camp, and event catering
  • Students need org affiliation, login, and meal-related requests
  • Chefs and house directors need plans, dishes, allergies, and suggestions
  • Admins need budgets, expenses, vendors, and role-based access
The solution

One Laravel app for marketing and ops

We built a Laravel 8 application with a public front end for services and quotes, Passport-ready auth, Spatie roles for staff, and modules for meal plans, dishes, allergies, late plates, budgets, vendors, and attendance.

  • Public pages for meal plans, menus, FAQs, contact, and proposal requests
  • Student register/login with organization checks
  • Chef, sous-chef, house-director, and admin dashboards
  • Weekly/annual budgets, expenses, vendors, and supplementary attendance
Our approach

Multi-role SaaS for catering teams

Role-based product design: public marketing for acquisition, student portal for diners, and staff tools for kitchen and house operations—on a single Laravel codebase with permissions and DataTables-driven admin lists.

  • Spatie Permission for chef, sous-chef, house director, and admin roles
  • Organization-scoped students, staff, and meal workflows
  • Meal plans, dishes, allergies, late plates, and suggestions
  • Budget, expense, and vendor modules for operational control
