Restaurant POS: Order State Machine and Admin Actions

Published 4/19/2026

Part 2 placeholder on workflow transitions, guardrails for admin actions, and audit-friendly events.

Focus for this part

This placeholder captures the order lifecycle and how admin actions map to safe transitions.

Placeholder implementation notes

  • Restrict invalid status jumps.
  • Persist who performed each admin action.
  • Surface clear reason fields for rejected orders.
// Placeholder transition guard
const canTransition = (from: string, to: string) => {
	const allowed: Record<string, string[]> = {
		pending: ['in_progress', 'rejected'],
		in_progress: ['delivered'],
	};
	return allowed[from]?.includes(to) ?? false;
};

Next part idea

Part 3 will cover receipt verification UX and reconciliation edge cases.
