I'm sick of the absurd prices, hidden fees and exploitation of both drivers and restaurants. A couple of friends and I (we're college students) have decided to build our own food delivery platform. We're committed to making all the code open source and as a non-profit, all revenue will go directly to the drivers (and some running costs e.g servers etc)
A few ideas we had:
-
Allow drivers to set their own delivery price and compete freely in the local market with other drivers.
-
Build relationships with local restaurants who hate UberEats and DoorDash and make exclusive deals with them.
-
Allow anyone to contribute to building the platform on github.
-
Purchase good food that restaurants are gonna throw out and sell it for super cheap.
I'd love some feedback and suggestions from you guys!
Also for anyone interested in contributing, please reach out! The github isn't public yet but I can add you to it. Our tech stack is: Go, Kubernetes, Python, Flutter/JS.
