DEVELOPMENT AND MARKET ANALYSIS OF A UNIVERSAL RESTAURANT APPLICATION IN KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

FOODI is a universal digital application designed to revolutionize the dining experience in Kazakhstan by integrating digital menu displays, real-time ordering, and secure payment processing. Developed with Flutter for cross-platform performance, a RESTful API for seamless communication, and Firebase for real-time data management, FOODI offers a robust, scalable solution for restaurants and cafés. Enhanced security is achieved through SSL encryption and token-based authentication, ensuring that user data remains protected. This paper details the technical architecture of FOODI - including API structure, database schema, and security measures - and provides a market analysis comparing the platform to competitors like Glovo and Wolt. Future development strategies aimed at expanding the platform to include additional sectors such as pharmacies are also discussed.
