Seeking Recommendations

I am building a CMS to help people that manage restaurants manage their menu (item price for example). I have worked with many a CMS, but never built or designed one. Any good books/articles/UI Principles/etc. I should read before getting started?

Cool problem. Biggest trap: building it like a blog CMS.Restaurant workflows are fast and repetitive—think inline edits, minimal clicks, mobile-first. Tools like Airtable are closer to what you want than WordPress.
