## What it is
TastyIgniter is a free, open-source, self-hosted restaurant management platform built on Laravel for online food ordering, table reservations, and multi-location management. It offers branded storefronts, menu/catalogue management, kitchen tickets, payments, and an extension marketplace with zero per-order commission.

## Use cases
- take online food orders on my own website without delivery app commissions
- manage table reservations and bookings for a restaurant
- run menus, orders, and staff across multiple restaurant locations from one dashboard
- set up a self-hosted restaurant ordering system with delivery and pickup
- manage restaurant menus with categories, mealtimes, and stock control
- build a branded online ordering storefront for a restaurant client
- accept guest checkout orders with delivery windows and minimum order rules

## When to choose
- you want a free, self-hosted alternative to commission-based delivery platforms like Uber Eats or Just Eat
- you need ordering plus reservations plus multi-location management in one platform
- you are a developer or agency that wants an extensible Laravel codebase with themes and extensions
- you want full ownership of customer data and payments

## When to avoid
- you want a fully managed SaaS with no server to maintain
- you need a POS or inventory system for non-restaurant retail
- you cannot run PHP 8.1+ with MySQL/MariaDB on Apache or Nginx
- you need native mobile apps out of the box rather than a web storefront
