Overview
To support the delivery operations of our coffeeshop business, I customized the open-source food ordering system TastyIgniter. The goal was to add features that were missing for our local needs, including real-time order tracking, delivery zones, and integration with marketing tools for promotions.
Key Features
- Zone-based delivery configuration with variable fees
- Real-time order status updates & push notifications
- Admin tools for managing orders, deliveries, and timing
- Promo code and discount campaign integration
- Custom delivery scheduling rules (same-day, next-day, etc.)
Tech Stack
My Role
- Customized TastyIgniter core & modules to support zone-based delivery
- Added JavaScript-powered real-time notification system
- Integrated external tools for email marketing and promotions
- Improved mobile UI/UX for customer ordering flow
- Handled deployment & maintenance on internal VPS
Impact
- Transformed a purely offline coffee shop into a scalable online delivery operation
- Added a new digital revenue stream during off-peak seasons
- Gave the marketing team better tools to run seasonal promotions
- Reduced phone-order chaos and delivery mistakes
