Laravel Hotel Booking System

This Laravel application lets guests search for available rooms by check-in/check-out dates and room type, view room details with photos, and complete a booking with guest information. Room availability is computed with an Eloquent query that excludes rooms already booked for overlapping date ranges.

An admin panel manages room inventory, pricing, and views/cancels bookings, while a booking-confirmation email is dispatched using Laravel's Mail facade and queued jobs for asynchronous delivery.

The project demonstrates Laravel's Eloquent relationships (Room ↔ Booking ↔ Guest), form-request validation classes, and Blade components for the search and booking forms.

Detailed Project Description

Laravel Hotel Booking System digitises the day-to-day records and workflows of an organisation so data is stored once, retrieved instantly and reported accurately.

How It Works
1. Role-based login separates admin, staff and end users.
2. Each module (records, bookings, transactions, reports) provides full CRUD operations with validation.
3. Data lives in a relational database with proper relationships between entities.
4. Reports and search views summarise the stored information.

Technology Roles
- Laravel
- PHP
- MySQL
- Eloquent
- Queues

Implementation Steps
1. Define requirements and draw the ER / class diagram and screen flow.
2. Set up the environment (Composer, Laravel Framework, MySQL) and create the project skeleton.
3. Design the database schema / data model and seed it with sample data.
4. Implement the core modules with validation and role-based access where needed.
5. Build the user interface and connect it to the backend / data layer.
6. Test each module (unit + manual), fix edge cases and secure inputs (SQL injection, XSS, auth).
7. Prepare documentation, screenshots and a demo build.
