Introduction

This project serves as the backend infrastructure for restaurants to manage food delivery services. We leverage the power of Node.js and TypeScript to create a fast and maintainable codebase. While it starts as a monolith, we intend to move towards a microservices architecture for enhanced scalability and flexibility.

Architecture

Our architecture aims to provide a seamless experience for restaurants, customers, and delivery personnel. Currently, we follow a monolith approach, but we plan to transition into microservices, dividing the system into smaller, independent components for better maintainability and scalability.

Features

• User authentication and authorization
• Restaurant management
• Menu and item management
• Order placement and tracking
• Delivery personnel tracking
• Payment gateway integration
