yeah im thinking something like that actually but little different. im going to charge the restaurants monthly as a subscription model. the delivery apps i know charge by the percentage. so the difference between me and them is going to be this. while other delivery apps charge %10 of the order, i am going to charge 100$ monthly. fixed expense means 0 in long term. with that i am going to be able to cut down the prices. the plan is this. Is this still hard to develop? Btw my goal is not going to be only cash. i want to keep the MVP version as simple as possible. I have plans for payment methods too.

Its a simple business model, but its fundamentally not a simple app to build.

Lists of restaurants with lists of menu items and prices, add to shopping cart, enter address, verify address, send email, retain order in database, process payment, user-authentication to remember past orders, make look good on mobile app and desktop. I'm probably forgetting some things.

You don't want to build this, you want someone else to have already built it
