Introduction
A food delivery startup needed an on-demand ordering app connecting local vendors, customers, and drivers, launched within a single month. RethinkingWeb built the platform on Flutter, NodeJS, and MS-SQL.
The result is a three-sided app experience, covering customers, vendors, and drivers, built to launch fast and scale from day one.
Problem Statement
The company needed a complete on-demand ordering and delivery experience, not just a customer-facing app, but vendor tools and a driver app as well, all on a tight one-month timeline.
They needed vendor catalog management, real-time order tracking, and driver logistics working together from launch.

RethinkingWeb built the platform on Flutter for customers and drivers, with a NodeJS and MS-SQL back end. Key elements included:

Local vendors manage menus and receive orders in real time.
Driver App
Drivers receive, accept, and fulfill delivery jobs from their phone.
