Description

Foodie is a food delivery application where users can browse through a catalogue of foods prepared by various restaurants and make orders. This application is built to give restaurants a wider reach and also give customers a wide variety of food options to choose from. Foodie is targeted at office workers, bachelors, lazy chefs, and individuals or families looking to have a wide range of options without having to make all the dishes themselves.

Features

The API allows for create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) operations for users, restaurants, and food items by already registered restaurants.
