What type of project is it?
This project was developed for Ristorante François, an Italian restaurant that needed a functional website to showcase its menu and facilitate table reservations. The main focus was to create a digital environment that reflected the restaurant’s style, while also offering the possibility of making online reservations directly through the website. To achieve this, the website was integrated with popular reservation platforms such as TheFork and DISH.
Technologies I Used
What I learned
Although I already had experience with WordPress, this project brought new challenges in terms of integrating with third-party platforms for online reservations. The most challenging part was creating and synchronizing the booking calendar, which required a new approach, as I had to ensure that bookings made on the website aligned perfectly with the DISH system. This experience allowed me to learn about integrating calendars and external endpoints, something I had not done in previous projects.
Biggest Difficulties
The biggest challenge was integrating the booking calendar with the DISH system. Initially, there were technical difficulties in ensuring that bookings made on the website aligned correctly with those on the platform, mainly due to the need to adapt the calendar to comply with DISH’s rules and format. After some testing and tweaking of the code, I was able to integrate the calendar so that it worked correctly and maintained booking consistency.
