This is a submission for the Storyblok Challenge
What I Built
MenuMaster is a comprehensive content management platform for restaurant chains built on Storyblok. It enables centralized menu management, location-specific customization, promotional campaigns, and customer engagement across multiple restaurant locations while maintaining brand consistency.
The platform allows restaurant managers to update menus, pricing, and promotional content across all locations while giving individual franchises the flexibility to customize for local markets.

Learnings and Takeaways
Storyblok's localization features were crucial for managing content across different restaurant locations and languages. The ability to create location-specific variations while maintaining brand consistency was a game-changer.
The most challenging aspect was handling real-time inventory updates for items that could sell out quickly. I implemented a hybrid approach using Storyblok for static content and a separate real-time database for inventory levels.
Storyblok's asset management made it easy to maintain consistent food photography across all locations while allowing local customization for seasonal items.
The project taught me the importance of flexible content modeling in the restaurant industry, where menus change frequently and local preferences vary significantly.
Restaurant owners particularly valued the ability to schedule menu changes in advance and preview how promotions would appear before going live.
