## Future Enhancements

The sidebar is ready for additional menu items:
1. Branches management (needs controller/views)
2. Riders management (needs controller/views)
3. Users management (needs controller/views)
4. Analytics pages (needs controller/views)
5. System settings (needs controller/views)

All menu items are placeholders with `#` links - they can be activated by:
1. Creating the controller methods
2. Creating the view files
3. Adding routes in `web.php`
4. Updating the sidebar links

## Mobile Responsiveness

The sidebar includes JavaScript for mobile toggle:
```javascript
document.getElementById('sidebar-toggle')?.addEventListener('click', function() {
    const sidebar = document.getElementById('sidebar');
    sidebar.classList.toggle('-translate-x-full');
});
```

This ensures smooth sidebar experience on all devices.
