The system is an online platform with a selection of restaurants where
customers can order and get delivered food from any restaurant in any
city in Ukraine.
Users can select a city, pick restaurants, review dishes, and place food
delivery orders. Restaurants can list their menus by creating customized
pages.
Our team was requested to develop a web application to connect restaurants with clients who order takeaway delivery. The idea behind the platform was to collect as many food delivery services as possible in one place to provide systematic online ordering. The system had to be understandable and easy to use for end users.
We have allocated a team of tech specialists to create a fully-functional system.

Requirements elicitation and planning
For starters, we conducted one-a-one meetings with the client to discover all the project
requirements, possible gaps, etc.

The platform had to include the following features:
Also, we have defined the three roles that had access to different functionality.
We have allocated software engineers with the required skill sets

a web app mockup.
Software engineers needed to separate the platform itself from the
admin panel to develop the app.
