Develop a Full-Stack Online Food Ordering Website
Create a dynamic food delivery website where users can browse restaurants, view menus, place orders, and track their deliveries using Node.js, Express, and MongoDB.This project mirrors real-world services like Swiggy, Zomato, or UberEats. It's an excellent opportunity to build a full backend-driven ordering system with user authentication, menus, cart handling, and order management.
Users should be able to browse available restaurants, see food items, add them to cart, and place orders. Admins can manage restaurants, menus, and order statuses from a dashboard.
Restaurant and Menu Browsing
Users can view a list of restaurants and browse their menu items.
Cart and Checkout System
Add food items to cart, view total pricing, and checkout with a delivery address.
Order Tracking
Users can view order status updates like 'Preparing', 'Out for delivery', 'Delivered'.
Admin Management
Admin dashboard to add/edit restaurants, manage menu items, and update order statuses.
The frontend communicates with a Node.js backend via REST APIs. Data like restaurants, menu items, user carts, and orders are stored and managed in MongoDB.
- Users browse and add menu items to their cart.
- On checkout, an order is created and stored in the database.
- Admins manage orders through an admin panel and update their statuses.
- Optional: Add payment gateway integration like Stripe for real transactions.
- Optional: Include order history and reorder functionality for users.
