Design and Implementation of Foodie: a Food Ordering System

Abstract

This project presents the design and implementation of a modern food website developed using the MERN stack—MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js. The website serves as a dynamic and interactive platform that allows users to explore various food items, view detailed menus, and place orders seamlessly. The backend, powered by Node.js and Express.js, handles API requests, manages user authentication, and interfaces with a MongoDB database to store and retrieve user data, orders, and menu information. The frontend, developed using React, provides a responsive and intuitive user interface, ensuring a smooth browsing experience across devices. Key features include user registration and login, category-based food browsing, cart and checkout functionality, and an admin panel for managing content. The project aims to enhance the digital food ordering experience by offering real-time interactions, scalability, and a clean UI/UX. This book documents the full development lifecycle of the project, from system analysis and design to deployment and testing, offering insights into building full-stack web applications using the MERN architecture.
