Food delivery development

Food delivery app development from order to courier handoff

Connect customer orders with the people who accept, prepare and deliver them. We define your operating model and build the agreed workflow, using relevant GetDeliver commerce and staff-tool experience where it fits.

Choose the business model first

A food business taking its own orders and a marketplace coordinating several businesses have different rules. We agree who owns the menu, accepts payment, prepares the order and handles delivery before defining the first release.

If your existing ordering service already covers the core workflow, we can assess a smaller website or integration scope rather than assume you need a new platform.

Make the menu and order rules explicit

Plan how customers browse the menu, choose options and understand availability. Opening hours, item options, extras, preparation limits and order cutoffs are requirements to agree with your team. The first version should reflect the choices your business can reliably fulfill.

Connect acceptance with preparation

Define when an order is accepted, what staff need to see and how preparation progress is recorded. Agree what happens if an order cannot be accepted or needs a change, including who contacts the customer and how payment consequences are handled.

GetDeliver's documented order lifecycle and preparation view provide related engineering examples. We adapt the workflow to the stages and responsibilities agreed for your project.

Make courier handoff understandable

Agree when an order is ready, who can take responsibility for it and which information the courier needs. The scope should cover the handoff and the exceptions your team handles, including delayed collection or an unsuccessful delivery attempt.

Define customer updates and integrations

Map which order changes customers should see and how your team handles a failed notification. We review payment, POS and delivery-provider interfaces before committing to integrations, including access requirements and which system owns each update.

See relevant ordering and staff-tool experience

GetDeliver demonstrates a storefront, cart and checkout with documented preparation and courier workflows. Its mixed demo catalog includes food categories, and the customer shop can be installed on a phone as a PWA. Your menu rules, restaurant integrations and operating model would be scoped for your project.

Scope, build and hand over the first release

We map responsibilities and exceptions, agree included and excluded work, build the selected workflow and test the acceptance criteria. Deployment, source-code handoff, documentation and ongoing support are specified in the proposal.

Pricing follows the agreed menu, roles, payment flow, integrations and delivery model. A single business and a marketplace with separate operators need different estimates.

Questions about your food delivery project

Can you build for one food business or a marketplace?

Both models can be assessed. We agree the operators, payment responsibilities and management rules before committing to a scope; the existing demo is not proof that every marketplace feature is ready.

Can customers choose extras or change menu items?

We can assess options and modifiers as requirements. Their pricing, availability and preparation rules need to be defined for your business.

Can you connect to our POS or delivery service?

We review interfaces, provider access and data flow first. No specific connector is assumed to be available.

Does the courier screen include tracking and automatic dispatch?

The documented GetDeliver workflow includes courier views and map handoff. Live tracking, dispatch optimization and delivery estimates need separate specifications.

Do customers need a native app?

A browser storefront or PWA may suit the ordering journey. We agree device support and any additional app requirements before choosing the implementation.

Will customers be able to order offline?

GetDeliver documentation describes cached catalog and cart access, while checkout requires connectivity. Offline confirmation or live menu availability is not promised.

Is GetDeliver a restaurant customer case?

It is our commerce and delivery project. Its demo and documented workflows show relevant engineering experience; they are not presented as a separate restaurant client deployment.
