Otaku POS started with a problem I could see firsthand. Running a bar and restaurant meant working across orders, inventory, staff, and day to day operations, but most available systems either added unnecessary complexity or did not fit the way the business actually worked.

I designed a custom system that brings the core experience into one place, including the POS, management dashboard, and inventory application. I worked through the user flows, information architecture, permissions, ordering logic, and operational needs before using Bolt.new to turn the product into a working application.

The focus was less on adding features and more on making the right information easy to find when someone actually needs it. Bartenders and staff needed speed. Management needed visibility. Inventory needed structure. The product was designed around those different needs while keeping the overall experience simple and consistent.

Using AI assisted development allowed me to move quickly between product thinking, interface decisions, testing, and implementation. It became an opportunity to design something around a real business problem, put it into use, and continue improving it based on how people actually interact with it.
