I've been exploring the idea of building a food delivery/logistics solution for myself as well. I've looked at Saas based options and I am really turned off by not having full control and basically just "renting" the solution from someone else.

I've tried searching for alternatives but it mostly leads me back down to the Saas hole.

Can you tell me how you found out about the solution you're working with?

Also, how exactly is it open source?

Uber and Doordash exist yes, but they are not available everywhere around the world. The solution is particularly targeting countries and regions where such solutions have not been employed or to improve upon ones that exist in those regions.

As another commenter pointed out, this solution can also be used for other use cases apart from just food delivery, like wine delivery and at-home hairdressing appointments.

Lastly, we have a one time fee for the backend and we give out the source code as well. Almost every other solution is operating as saas, so this gives companies the choice to have their own food delivery management system like Ubereats without making monthly payments and with full access to the back-end so that they can customize it as much as they like.

Thank you for taking the time and giving your feedback. I appreciate it, truly.

So for most of the issues like broken images and the website being slow; our hosting server was not equipped at the time to handle a massive influx of users on the site which was what happened at the time that you would have opened it as well. (We were not expecting that much traffic to be generated from this post but yeah we should have been better prepared). The server's been upgraded now and the site should be much faster now.

I would also like to point out that we are actively working on a lot of the components for the solution, as well as the website so we know that a lot of improvements are still to be made.
