FoodFast

About the Project

Full stack web application built with Node, Express, AJAX, Twilio API, jQuery, HTML5, CSS3 and PosgreSQL.

Problem Statement

An application built to simplify online food ordering for pickup.

Expected Usage

Desired users are restaurant owners and customers:

• Restaurant owners can register and login to see their orders. They will recieve a phone call every time an order is made online.

  • They can then either accept or decline the order.
  • Over the phone, they specify how long the order will take to prepare.
  • This triggers a notification to the customer with estimated preparation time via SMS.
  • The restaurant owner can then see the orders online, with a countdown timer based on the estimated preparation time.
  • They can mark an order as complete when the food has been prepared, which sends a notification to the customer.

• Customers can order from the restaurant menu online.

  • They are notified when the order has been accepted and how long it will take.
  • They are notified again when the food is ready.
