Group Order System - Sell Project

Project Overview GroupOrder Hub is a full-stack web platform designed to simplify group order management within organizations, businesses, schools, or communities. The system efficiently manages product catalogs, orders, users, and group coordinators in a professional manner. Project Origin The project was originally developed in Italian (my preferred language for communication) and subsequently translated into English to make it accessible to a broader international market. All technical documentation and code comments are in English, while this presentation maintains both languages for convenience. Main Features ?
