📄 FOOD – Project Statement

The Food program is the third main application in the Snapp ecosystem. It will be developed under the food-hub repository and follow a microservice architecture.

This system acts as a dynamic marketplace, where stores of different types can register and list their products. Customers can then view available products near them and place orders. Deliveries are fulfilled using Snapp.

🎯 Core Responsibilities of FOOD

  1. Store Management → Registration, product listings, categories, inventory.

  2. Dynamic Product Types → Support for multiple verticals (food, bread, groceries, medicine, etc.).

  3. Location-based Marketplace → Show users products near them, with the option to expand search radius.

  4. Customer Ordering → Cart, checkout, and integration with Snapp for delivery.

  5. Categorization & Flexibility → Products organized by categories/subcategories, fully separable.

🏗 Phases of Development

Phase 1 – MVP (Minimum Viable Product)

Goal: Deliver a basic working version that supports products and location-based browsing.

  1. User Roles

    • Customer → Browse and order products.

    • Store Owner → Register store, add products with details (name, type, price, stock).

    • Admin → Approve stores and moderate content.

  2. Product Listings

    • Stores can add/update/remove products.

    • Each product has basic info: name, type, price, quantity.

  3. Location-based Browsing

    • Customer enters location → system shows nearby stores and products.

    • Ability to expand search radius to see more results.

  4. Order Creation

    • Customer selects products → creates order.

    • Delivery is mocked at this stage (Snapp not integrated yet).

✅ At the end of Phase 1, Food works as a basic marketplace with nearby products.

Phase 2 – Product Categories & Flexibility

Goal: Make the marketplace more dynamic and extensible.

  1. Category System

    • Products organized into categories (Food, Grocery, Medicine, Bread, etc.).

    • Categories should be configurable and easy to extend.

  2. Subcategories & Attributes

    • Each category can have different product attributes.

      • Example: Food → name, portion size, calories.

      • Medicine → name, expiration date, prescription required.

  3. Search & Filters

    • Customers can filter by category, subcategory, price, or rating.

Phase 3 – Orders & Deliveries

Goal: Connect with Snapp to complete the order-delivery cycle.

  1. Cart & Checkout

    • Customers can add multiple items to a cart.

    • Place an order, with price calculation.

  2. Snapp Integration

    • After order confirmation, create a delivery request in Snapp.

    • Delivery cost and ETA fetched from Snapp.

  3. Order Tracking

    • Customers can see order status (preparing → out for delivery → delivered).

Phase 4 – Store & Customer Enhancements

Goal: Improve marketplace dynamics and user experience.

  1. Store Dashboards

    • Store owners can view sales reports, popular products, inventory alerts.

  2. Customer Experience

    • Ratings & reviews for products and stores.

    • Recommended products based on past orders.

  3. Promotions & Discounts

    • Stores can set promotional discounts.

    • Coupons or system-wide discounts supported.

Phase 5 – Advanced Features

Goal: Make Food a professional, dynamic platform.

  1. Multi-stop Deliveries (Snapp Support)

    • For grocery/medicine → multiple items from different stores can be delivered together.

  2. Personalization & AI (optional, advanced)

    • Personalized recommendations.

    • Demand prediction (e.g., bread sales peak in morning).

  3. Scalability & Monitoring

    • Cache frequently requested product queries.

    • Analytics on user behavior, busiest categories, peak hours.

📌 Priorities

  • Phase 1 (MVP) ensures Food can act as a simple store + order system.

  • Phases 2–3 make it flexible and connected with Snapp.

  • Phases 4–5 bring advanced marketplace features and scale.
