Food delivery software that you own

What food delivery software actually has to do

Most people shopping for a food delivery software solution are solving one of three problems: they want to stop paying 25–30% aggregator fees, they want to run a delivery platform of their own, or they want to sell a delivery product to restaurants in their city. All three need the same engine underneath — a catalogue of restaurants and menu items, a cart, a delivery-zone and fee calculator, an order state machine, a payment gateway, and a way to get the food from the kitchen to the door without anyone phoning anybody.

Foodomaa ships that engine as a working product rather than a framework. A new install already has the four interfaces that matter, and the settings screens to brand them without opening a code editor.

The five interfaces you get

• Online ordering website — the SEO-friendly storefront customers land on from Google or a Facebook link. It supports pickup, delivery and scheduled orders.
• Customer app — Android and iOS. Address book, favourites, live order tracking, wallet, coupons and push notifications.
• Restaurant app and panel — restaurant staff accept or reject orders, toggle opening hours, edit the menu, run their own offers and read their order reports.
• Rider app — a delivery queue, accept/decline, turn-by-turn navigation hand-off, proof of delivery and cash-collection tracking.
• Admin panel — delivery zones and charges, refunds, banners, CMS pages and every order in one queue.

What separates it from a SaaS subscription

A hosted delivery SaaS charges per order or per month and keeps the code. Your menu data, your customer list and your order history live in their database, and the moment you stop paying the storefront goes dark. Foodomaa is installed on infrastructure you rent, so the database is yours, the domain is yours, and the payment gateway merchant account is in your name.

That matters most in markets where the aggregators already take a third of every order. A restaurant that moves 400 orders a month at a $12 average basket hands over roughly $1,440 a month in fees. A one-time $299 licence plus a $12 VPS is a rounding error against that — which is why most Foodomaa buyers are restaurant owners and small-market founders rather than venture-backed startups.

Self-hosted food delivery software with full source code

Foodomaa is self-hosted food delivery software: you install it on your own VPS, connect your own domain and payment gateway, and keep the database. It is sold as a one-time payment with no monthly licence fee, and the source code is included. That combination is what makes it different from a hosted food delivery SaaS or a per-order marketplace.

If you are comparing a food delivery script, a white label app and a full platform, the practical difference is what happens after launch: who owns the code, who controls the customer data, and who pays when order volume grows. Foodomaa keeps all three on your side of the table.

Deployment and hosting

Foodomaa runs on a standard LAMP stack — PHP and MySQL behind Nginx or Apache — so a 2 vCPU / 4 GB VPS is enough for launch. Installation is a documented upload-and-run installer; there is no Docker requirement and no managed service to subscribe to. You can point the customer app at your domain, rebuild the Android shell with your own package name, and publish the iOS build under your own developer account.

If you would rather not touch a terminal, installation on your VPS is included in the $299 and we will brand the apps, connect your gateway and hand over the admin login.

The software is in production today — PideloGO, a Spanish-language food delivery service, runs on this exact stack, and public sites such as Happy Farmers and Orderkakai show long-running deployments. See where Foodomaa runs.
