Project Overview
This project involved building a complete backend system for a salon booking mobile application. I developed a custom WordPress plugin that exposes REST APIs for a Flutter mobile app while salon owners manage services, staff, and bookings through a dedicated WordPress dashboard.
System Architecture
The system is designed as a backend service using a custom WordPress plugin. The plugin exposes REST APIs consumed by a Flutter mobile application while salon owners manage operations through a WordPress dashboard.
- Flutter Mobile App → consumes REST APIs
- WordPress Plugin → business logic & booking engine
- MySQL Database → stores salons, bookings, staff, and users
- Salon Owner Dashboard → service and booking management
What I Built
- Custom WordPress plugin with REST API endpoints
- Salon discovery and search system
- Staff scheduling and availability management
- Complete booking workflow with QR check-in
Core System Logic
- Token-based authentication for mobile app
- Salon search with filters and location support
- Dynamic time slot availability calculation
- Booking creation, rescheduling, and cancellation
