How I Built a Restaurant Menu Web App Using Olive Garden Menu Data

As a developer experimenting with frontend skills and UI/UX design, I recently built a restaurant menu web app that simulates a real-world experience using data inspired by the Olive Garden menu. This project helped me understand practical frontend concepts like dynamic filtering, responsive layout, and data structuring.

Here’s what I included in the app:

Category-based Filtering (Appetizers, Entrees, Desserts)

Responsive Grid Layout using Tailwind CSS

JSON-based Menu Data modeled after popular restaurants like Olive Garden

Dark Mode Toggle and basic animations for user engagement

I also worked on improving accessibility and integrating a mini cart function using React. The goal was to simulate a menu that could work for any restaurant, and Olive Garden’s structured menu was a perfect reference.
