The rise of food delivery apps has transformed the way we enjoy our meals. To Go, a cutting-edge mobile app, is redefining the experience by seamlessly integrating AI technology into its innovative platform. This comprehensive guide will delve into the world of To Go, exploring its features, challenges, and technological advancements.

Overview

To Go is an intelligent food delivery app that brings together chefs, delivery boys, and customers in a harmonious culinary journey. With a user-friendly interface, users can browse through menus for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, while chefs can showcase their cooking skills and earn money through the app. This innovative approach has made To Go a go-to destination for food enthusiasts and cooking experts alike.

Client Requirements

To Go was born out of a client's vision to create a tiffin service and food ordering platform that catered to busy lifestyles and entrepreneurial aspirations. Recognizing the importance of expert development and advisory services, our team at Hyperlink InfoSystem worked closely with the client to bring their idea to life.

Features

To Go boasts two distinct apps: one for users and another for delivery boys. The user app offers a range of features, including:

  • Register/Login
  • Login with different roles (User and Chef)
  • Add city, location, and new location
  • Chef adds menu with Food Images, Price, and Availability
  • Save User Information
  • View Order Details
  • Chef receives the order

The delivery boy app allows for seamless ordering and delivery management, including:

  • Register and login
  • Receive details of chef & customer
  • Pick order from the chef
  • Delivers food based on time slots taken

Admin Panel

The admin panel provides a comprehensive overview of user roles, orders, city locations, and promo codes. Key features include:

  • Manage Users and Their Role (customer and chef)
  • Manager Orders
  • Manage city & location for users
  • Provide Beverages on Some Food
  • Provide Promo Code
  • Approve or Reject Delivery Boy Request

The Challenges

Our developers faced a few complexities in bringing the app to life. One challenge was creating a user-friendly interface that allowed users to add food items to their orders with ease. With the help of senior developers, we were able to overcome this hurdle and deliver a seamless experience.

Another challenge was developing an admin panel that met the client's technical requirements. We worked closely with the client to ensure that our solution met their needs, resulting in a successfully implemented 3rd normalization form for the admin panel.
