How to optimize Laravel Eloquent relationships for large datasets? [closed]

I am currently building a restaurant booking system using Laravel. I need to fetch table reservations for the upcoming 7 days, which involves thousands of records.

Currently, I am using this approach:

$reservations = Reservation::with('table', 'user')-\>get();

However, as the data grows, this is causing performance bottlenecks. Could someone advise on how to optimize my Eloquent queries to prevent this?

Specifically, I'm looking for guidance on:

1. Is eager loading sufficient, or should I use specific database-level indexing?

2. What are the best practices for caching these queries for a dashboard to reduce database load?

3. Are there any Laravel specific features or packages that handle large date-range queries better?

Any tips or best practices would be greatly appreciated.
