Shared-Hosting Booking Workflow

A Laravel booking workflow designed for predictable handoffs, simple hosting, and clear admin control.

Role: Fullstack developer
Stack: Laravel MariaDB Blade Tailwind CSS Filament

Problem

The booking process depended on messages and spreadsheets, so staff had no reliable state history or single place to review upcoming work.

Solution

Built a server-rendered Laravel workflow with structured booking states, validated forms, paginated admin views, and explicit state transitions.

Architecture

The public and admin surfaces share Eloquent models while controllers stay thin. Query scopes keep published and operational filters explicit, and Filament handles the protected admin workflow.

Trade-offs

The first version avoids realtime updates and background workers so it remains reliable on cPanel shared hosting.

Result

The workflow gives staff one source of truth for booking state and reduces manual cross-checking during daily operations.
