978 Eats: Engineering a Scalable Multi-Sided Food Delivery Platform with React Native and Python

978 Eats entered a very competitive market. The goal was to build a proprietary digital system. It needed to manage complex logistics efficiently. The solution was built completely from scratch. A robust Python backend was developed. Furthermore, three specialized React Native mobile apps were required. AWS was used for necessary cloud infrastructure. Google Maps handled critical location tracking. Therefore, a high-performance, three-way platform was successfully delivered.

Customer Satisfaction

A smooth ordering experience was prioritized highly. Customer satisfaction was considered paramount. The React Native Customer App was designed for speed. Crucially, transparency was maintained throughout. Key features were integrated to improve service.

Precise Delivery Geolocation

Accurate address pinning was ensured. Google Maps Platform was used for this integration. Fewer logistical errors resulted from this effort.

Real-Time Order Tracking

Customers receive updates every minute. They track their rider’s real-time location. Consequently, transparency and trust are fostered.

Optimized Ordering Funnel

Quick, repeated orders are made possible. Checkout processes were simplified. Thus, cart abandonment rates were significantly reduced.

Dedicated Native Apps: Precision and Performance for Delivery Riders & Users

React Native was the strategic choice. Three separate, dedicated native apps were delivered. Development was completed quickly. However, near-native performance was maintained. This was vital for real-time operational tasks.

A. Rider App (Logistics)

The Rider App focuses solely on efficiency. Optimal routes are provided through Google Maps. Real-time job allocations are also handled. Earnings dashboards are provided to riders. Therefore, efficient logistics are achieved across the system.

B. Restaurant App (Management Portal)

This app allows partners operational control. Restaurant staff can register their menus. Incoming orders are instantly confirmed. Moreover, the order status is easily updated. The simple interface minimizes staff training.

Platform Efficiency and Technical Architecture

The 978 Eats system was built for stability. It was designed for rapid scalability. Consequently, the architecture is robust and modern.

Backend Foundation

The system’s core is the Python Backend. It handles all critical business logic. API endpoints and payment processing are managed here. Python was chosen for stability and extensive libraries.

Scalable Cloud Infrastructure

AWS forms the overall backbone. Services were selected for high-traffic needs. Messaging systems ensure real-time notifications.

Data Reliability

The architecture maintains high availability. Order data remains consistent and accessible. Therefore, system performance is guaranteed during high demand.

Web Portal

A React web frontend was used. It acts as the administrator control panel. Comprehensive reporting tools were delivered.

Challenges We Faced

Significant engineering hurdles had to be cleared. A successful launch required great technical focus. Thus, the following risks were thoroughly mitigated:

Real-Time Geolocation Sync:

The rider’s real-time location had to be perfect. Google Maps integration was tightly optimized.

Notification Reliability & Latency:

Critical alerts must be delivered instantly. A robust push notification system was established.

Cross-Platform Performance:

Native-level performance was targeted. This was key for the React Native Rider App's GPS.

AWS Auto-Scaling for Peak Load:

Resources had to scale up rapidly. AWS infrastructure was configured to handle load spikes.

Secure Payment & Payout Logic:

A secure payment gateway was integrated. Complex Python logic managed commission calculations.

Restaurant Onboarding Workflow:

A simple, secure self-registration flow was built. Menu data was synced immediately.

Data Consistency & Integrity:

The database schema was carefully designed. Transactional integrity was maintained under all loads.

Third-Party API Integration:

Stable connections to external APIs were ensured. Fallbacks were designed for service interruptions.
