Inside the extracted folder, you’ll find two main folders:
- Backend – Contains files for Mobile App APIs
- Mobile App – Contains the Android application

2. Setting Up The Backend Server

Install WAMP Server:
- Download WAMP Server and install it on your Windows computer.
- Follow the installation wizard’s instructions.
- Once installed, start WAMP by clicking its icon in your start menu.
- Wait until the WAMP icon in your system tray turns green, indicating it’s running properly.
Install Composer:
- Download Composer and install it.
- During installation, make sure it can find your PHP installation from WAMP.
Set Up Database:
- Open your web browser and type: http://localhost/phpmyadmin
- Login with username root and leave the password empty (default WAMP settings).
- Click on “New” in the left sidebar to create a new database.
- Name your database (e.g., “wamaresto”) and click “Create”.
- Select your new database from the left sidebar.
- Click the “Import” tab at the top.
- Click “Choose File” and select the .sql file from the Database folder.
- Scroll down and click “Go” to import all the database tables.

3. Configure Backend Settings

Copy the entire Backend folder to C:\wamp64\www\ (or wherever your WAMP www folder is located).
Rename the Backend folder to something simple like wamaresto.
Open the file includes/Constants.php with a text editor (like Notepad).

Update the following information:

Database Settings:

define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_USER', 'root'); // Default WAMP username
define('DB_PASSWORD', ''); // Leave empty for default WAMP setup
define('DB_NAME', 'wamaresto'); // Use the database name you created

Email Settings: (For order confirmations and notifications)

define('MAIL_MAILER', 'smtp');
define('MAIL_HOST', 'smtp.gmail.com'); // Or your email provider's SMTP server
define('MAIL_PORT', '587');
define('MAIL_USERNAME', 'your-email@gmail.com');
define('MAIL_PASSWORD', 'your-email-password');
define('MAIL_ENCRYPTION', 'tls');
define('MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS', 'your-email@gmail.com');
define('MAIL_FROM_NAME', 'Your Restaurant Name');

Stripe Payment Settings:

define('STRIPE_SECRET_API_KEY', 'sk_test_your_stripe_secret_key');
define('STRIPE_PUBLISHABLE_KEY', 'pk_test_your_stripe_publishable_key');

You can get these keys by creating a free account at Stripe.com

Save the file after making these changes.

Testing Your Backend: Open your browser and go to http://localhost/wamaresto/ (or whatever you named your folder). You should see a welcome page or API message if everything is set up correctly.

4. Setting Up Firebase (For Push Notifications)

Go to the Firebase Console and sign in with your Google account.
Click “Add project” and follow the steps to create a new Firebase project.
Once your project is created, click on the gear icon (⚙️) next to “Project Overview” and select “Project settings”.
Go to the “Cloud Messaging” tab and find your “Server key”.
Copy this key and open includes/Constants.php again.

Add this line with your key:

define('FCM_SERVER_KEY', 'your-firebase-server-key');

Save the file.

5. Setting Up The Android App

For this part, you’ll need to hire an Android developer or learn some basic Android development. Here are the key steps they’ll need to follow:

Update API URL:
- Open the file com.wama.wamaresto.retrofit.RetrofitUtils.kt
- Find the line with BASE_URL and change it to point to your server’s URL:
```
public static final String BASE_URL = "http://your-server-address/wamaresto/";
```
- For local testing, you can use your computer’s IP address:
```
public static final String BASE_URL = "http://192.168.1.x/wamaresto/";
```
  (Replace 192.168.1.x with your actual IP address)
Firebase Setup for App:
- In Firebase Console, go to Project settings
- Click “Add app” and select Android
- Enter your app’s package name (e.g., com.yourcompany.wamaresto)
- Download the google-services.json file
- Place this file in the app/ folder of your Android project
Customizing Your App:
- App Name: Edit app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml and change the app_name value
- App Logo: Replace the files in app/src/main/res/mipmap/ with your restaurant logo
- App Colors: Edit app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml to match your brand colors

6. Building & Publishing Your App

Once your app is configured:

Ask your developer to generate a signed APK or Android App Bundle.
Create a Google Play Developer account (one-time $25 fee) at Google Play Console.
Follow Google’s instructions to publish your app to the Google Play Store.

For app publishing, we recommend working with an experienced Android developer who can ensure your app meets all Google Play Store requirements.
