[Feature] Rating system for restaurants

[cirex-web]

Description

If people are actually consistently using this site, maybe it'll be helpful to see/contribute restaurant ratings and reviews. This will also put CMUeats one level above the normal CMU dining website.

I don't think we have a database yet, but I'm open to using whatever.

Good idea.

Now that we have migrated to Bun, Bun has access to a super fast version of SQLite3. While structured data and SQL database does make more sense, there are some performance optimizations that can be made by using unstructured data due to extra empty space when using structured data (such as in an SQL database). For an example, see fiftyone. Also, see slides. Although their product focuses on machine learning, they were able to achieve performance optimizations through clever techniques. I am down for either way (built-in Bun SQLite database or non-structured approach).

SQL sounds good

Hello! I’m a student at Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar, and my team and I are working on a Software Engineering project for our course. We’re required to contribute to open-source projects, and this issue caught our attention.. it looks like a great fit for what we’re learning right now.
Would it be alright if we took this on as part of our project? We’ll make sure to follow the contribution guidelines and do our best to add value to the project
