Food delivery app source code, not a rented tenant
PHP and MySQL on the server, a documented admin panel, an ordering website and three mobile apps. You get the repository, the database schema and the right to modify any of it.
What "source code included" should mean
Plenty of products advertise source code and then hand over a compiled bundle, an obfuscated core or a licence key that expires. The useful definition is simpler: can your developer open the file that renders the checkout and change it without asking anybody?
With Foodomaa, yes. You receive the application code, the database schema and the documentation. There is no encoded core, no per-domain licence check and no callback to a licence server that can take your storefront offline.
Food delivery script vs complete app source code
A food delivery script is a starting point. A complete app source code package should include the customer storefront, the restaurant panel, the rider app, the admin panel, the database schema and the documentation — and it should be readable enough for your developer to change. Foodomaa is the second kind: one backend, five interfaces and the full PHP/MySQL code, not a demo with the useful parts compiled away.
If you only need a menu and a cart, a smaller script may be enough. If you need orders, restaurant panels, riders and a customer app, the cost of assembling those pieces yourself usually exceeds the licence.
The stack
| Layer | Technology | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Backend | PHP + MySQL | Every hosting company on earth supports it; cheap VPS, no exotic runtime. |
| Storefront | Server-rendered web app | Indexable pages, fast first paint, works on low-end Android phones. |
| Admin & restaurant panels | Browser UI | No install for staff; role-based access. |
| Mobile apps | Android + iOS | Built from the same API, so features stay in sync. |
| Realtime | Order status + rider location | Polling and push, so tracking works on weak networks. |
What you can realistically change
- Checkout — add a gateway, change the fee logic, add a tipping step or a minimum-basket rule.
- Order flow — insert a kitchen-acceptance step, change what "ready" means, add a scheduled-order window.
- Pricing — surge fees by zone, happy-hour menus, first-order discounts, subscription lunch plans.
- Vertical — grocery pack-size variants or custom weight pricing, pharmacy prescription upload, liquor age checks.
- Localisation — language strings, currency format, address format, phone validation.
What you need to run it
A Linux VPS with PHP and MySQL, a domain, and an SSL certificate. That is the whole list. Installation is a documented web installer; if you have never deployed a PHP application, the $299 includes having it installed and branded for you.
Budget roughly $10–$20 a month for a server that comfortably handles a launch-stage platform, plus whatever you spend on SMS, maps and payment-gateway fees.
Licence, in plain language
You may run the software for your own business, modify it, and deploy branded installations for clients as part of your services. What the licence does not grant is the right to redistribute the code as a competing software product. If your plan is to resell the software commercially, talk to us first — it is a different agreement, and it is better to know before you build.
Source code questions
Is the code obfuscated or licensed per domain?
No. You receive readable source and there is no licence server that can disable your installation.
Do I need a developer to install it?
Not necessarily. The installer is documented and most buyers follow it unaided. Installation on your VPS is included in the price if you would rather not.
Which PHP version does it need?
A current PHP 8.x release with the standard MySQL extensions on any mainstream Linux distribution. Exact requirements are in the documentation that ships with the download.
Can I hire someone else to customise it?
Yes. Because the source is included, any PHP developer can work on it. You are not required to use us for changes.
Is this a food delivery script or a complete application?
It is a complete application: customer web storefront, customer app build, restaurant panel and app, rider app, admin panel, database schema and documentation — not a single-page script.
Can I self-host the source code?
Yes. Foodomaa runs on a standard PHP/MySQL VPS under your own domain and SSL certificate. There is no licence server or supplier hosting dependency.
