Abstract- The project entitled "Online Food Ordering System" addresses the escalating demand for convenient and efficient food delivery services in today's digital landscape. This thesis details the design and implementation of a robust web application built upon the *MERN stack* (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js), aiming to provide a comprehensive platform for both customers and restaurant administrators. The primary objective was to create a user-centric system that simplifies the food ordering process for consumers while offering powerful management tools for businesses. Customers benefit from an intuitive interface for Browse diverse menus, applying filters, and securely placing orders. The system emphasizes a seamless user experience, with features designed for effortless navigation and clear order status updates. For restaurants, the platform provides a dedicated administrative panel to streamline operations. This includes dynamic menu management—allowing easy updates to dishes, prices, and availability—and comprehensive real-time order processing and tracking. This centralized control empowers restaurants to efficiently manage incoming orders and maintain up-to-date offerings. The strategic selection of the MERN stack underpins the system's scalability and responsiveness. *MongoDB* offers flexible data storage, ideal for varied menu and order information. *Express.js* facilitates a robust API for efficient communication between the frontend and backend. *React.js* enables the development of a highly interactive and responsive user interface, ensuring compatibility across all devices. *Node.js* allows for full-stack JavaScript development, promoting faster development cycles and efficient handling of real-time functionalities crucial for order management. Security is a fundamental aspect of this system, incorporating secure user authentication and integrating with trusted payment gateways to protect sensitive user and transaction data. This project successfully demonstrates the MERN stack's capability in building a modern, performant, and scalable online food delivery solution, effectively meeting the contemporary demands of the food service industry.
