RoadRunner

Roadrunner is now an online food ordering platform where users can purchase products from an online supermarket.

Product Summary

Originally, Roadrunner was a Deliveroo-style application which pivoted following its initial development. Roadrunner is now an online food ordering platform where users can purchase products from an online supermarket. In its current capacity, users can order shopping by using a mobile app or through the website. Orders are then received by the one merchant listed on the platform.

This merchant receives all orders that come through and then can accept or reject them. Along with the admin being able to add additional merchants, the founder wanted the ability to add a catalogue of items to all outlets to ease the onboarding process. If needed, the admin can also create coupons and send custom notifications to all users and merchants.

Platforms

iOS/Android, website, admin dashboard

Technical Description

An API supports the platform as a whole and acts as a bridge between each of the portals. A Stripe Connect account is used as the payment gateway for the platform. The customer app utilises GPS so users can see nearby venues in a list/map view.

Technical Setup

– The mobile apps for this project were developed using react native
– The web app for this project was developed using react.
– The API for this project was developed using python with a Django framework.

Interesting Notes

As an add-on, we built the ability for the admin to send custom push notifications using the admin dashboard to further drive engagement with the user base of the platform.

 As this was originally meant for multiple outlets, we created a print endpoint in the API to allow for the printing of receipts.
