Show HN: I've updated my food delivery repo. Feedback Welcome

#1

Post by Abee_09 »

Hey everyone! Over the past few years, I've dedicated my time to crafting a customizable solution for food delivery management. Now, I'm excited to showcase the culmination of all my work. Throughout the development journey, I've successfully incorporated all the planned features and even expanded upon them based on valuable feedback from the community.

My methodology has consistently involved seeking input from platforms like Reddit and forums, where I engage with like-minded individuals. Some of the recent enhancements stem directly from this collaborative feedback, and I'm eager to gather more insights on the latest update to the project.

Designed with a focus on individuals or businesses looking to start their own food delivery services, this solution simplifies the process of adding vendors, managing food items, coordinating deliveries, and overseeing riders. Beyond these core functionalities, you'll find a bunch of other features, including order tracking, real-time notifications, and more.

Since I don’t have a substantial team backing me, I truly appreciate any assistance you can offer. Every form of contribution is valued.

Give it a star and share your thoughts in the comments section. Your support means the world to me!

Well done on the hard work.

I am trying to get my head around why set up one of these businesses when Uber, Doordash exist, and it is a network effects game, where you need the most drivers to be trusted, the drivers need to see you as worthwhile as do the customers and the restaurants. So it is not just chicken/egg but maybe hen/rooster/egg problem.

Unless your plan is selling to the well funded startups who reckon they can muscle in?

What might make a bit more sense is if this is used by the restaurant who employ their own riders, but that is a dying breed I reckon.

Seems people are using the platform to setup delivery of other things than just food. From the case studies:

- Order hair and nail care services - https://enatega.com/stylizenow/

- Campus food delivery - https://enatega.com/easy-eats/ (this one is kind of just tiny bit different from normal food delivery though...)

- Wine delivery - https://enatega.com/vinifynd/

With that, I guess it kind of makes sense.

Don't need all that. Think smaller communities. Eg: my neighborhood can use this to schedule grocery with a smaller group. The trust is there and there is no need to attract drivers. So this big shared menu means only one person goes to Market Basket and buys lots of stuff. Then we all just walk over to Steve's to get our groceries.

People are desperately trying to move away from such platforms. Nearly all products i ordered had a flier in the box with a seller’s website and some kind of incentive. For food for instance, i received an offer of two pizzas for one if i order using the shop’s app. Naturally, i started using it.

Sure, but not because of technical reasons though. This won't solve that.
