Tufatt — Restaurant PHP Website Template

Tufatt PHP elevates your restaurant website from a static template to a fully dynamic, database-driven application. Built on PHP 8.1 with an MVC architecture and MySQL, this template gives restaurant owners and developers the power to manage menus, reservations, blog posts, and team profiles through a structured backend — no manual HTML editing required. The front-end retains every visual detail of the original design while the backend handles the heavy lifting.

Spanning 18 pages with 6 homepage options, Tufatt PHP is engineered for real-world restaurant operations. Menu items pull from the database, reservations are stored and retrievable, and blog content is managed dynamically. The clean MVC separation means designers can update templates without breaking business logic, and backend developers can extend functionality without touching presentation code.
