Non-coder builds beer wall and POS system with Claude in 3 months
iliadz · reddit · 2026-08-23
A non-programmer restaurant owner shared his experience developing a self-serve beer wall and full POS system using Claude AI over three months (1000 hours). The system includes tablet ordering, Kitchen Display Systems (KDS), reservations, inventory, RBAC, PIN/NFC auth, and beer wall integration. The tech stack uses Proxmox clusters for containers with on-site and off-site backups. The author highlighted leveraging his ability to spot and correct AI hallucinations without a coding background, combined with a CI/CD process. The beer wall features 40+ Guatemalan craft beers and is the largest in Central America.
