Generate a full AI Food Delivery Platform from a prompt

You describe the kind of food delivery operation you want — single restaurant, multi-restaurant marketplace, ghost-kitchen network, regional cooperative. StackAlchemist generates the full .NET 10 + Next.js 15 + PostgreSQL codebase, verifies the build, and hands you the zip. You own the code. Deploy wherever you want.

What you get

A production-shaped AI food delivery platform with:

• Restaurant and menu management with menus, menu items, modifiers (size, toppings, options), and per-item availability windows
• Order flow with cart, item customization, scheduled vs. ASAP, special instructions, and order status lifecycle (placed, accepted, preparing, ready, in-transit, delivered)
• Customer accounts backed by Supabase auth — addresses, order history, favorites, saved payment methods
• Driver dispatch with available-driver pool, assignment logic, accept/decline, and live status updates
• Delivery zones and pricing — polygon or radius zones, per-zone delivery fees, minimum-order rules
• Payment and payout wired to Stripe Connect — customers pay you, you payout restaurants and drivers on your schedule, no commission to anyone else
• Restaurant operator dashboard for menu edits, order queue, prep-time tuning, payout reporting
• Admin dashboard for onboarding restaurants, managing drivers, viewing platform-wide metrics
• CI/CD via GitHub Actions — lint, typecheck, unit tests, compile verification
• Docker-compose for local development — docker compose up and you are running

All of this is generated in about 12 minutes from a single prompt. Every build is verified with dotnet build + pnpm build before you can download.

Why generate it instead of paying DoorDash 30% commission

DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub take 15-30% of every order and own your customer. When a customer orders through DoorDash, DoorDash has the relationship. They have the email, the order history, the marketing channel. You are a faceless kitchen fulfilling a request. A generated platform flips that. You own the customer, the data, and the margin.

Restaurant SaaS platforms still lock you into their stack. Toast, Square for Restaurants, ChowNow — they all charge monthly fees, gate features behind tiers, and own your customer data on their servers. A StackAlchemist-generated delivery platform runs on your infrastructure. Your customers are yours. Your payouts are yours. No platform fee.

Hiring an agency to build this is $80k-$200k and six months. A multi-restaurant marketplace with driver dispatch, Stripe Connect payouts, and a real-time order queue is not a weekend project for an agency. StackAlchemist generates the compile-verified bones in 12 minutes for $299-$999. You spend the saved budget on customization, marketing, and actual restaurants.

Who this is for

• Single-restaurant owners tired of paying 30% commission and wanting their own ordering site with delivery — a generated platform pays for itself after the first month.
• Ghost-kitchen operators running multiple brands out of one kitchen who need a marketplace storefront for their own concepts without renting one from DoorDash.
• Regional delivery cooperatives — a group of local restaurants in a small city pooling resources to fight back against the national platforms with a shared, locally-owned delivery network.
• Developers and agencies building bespoke food-ordering products for restaurant clients who want ownership instead of a SaaS subscription.

Example entities generated

A typical AI food delivery platform generation produces entities like:

• Restaurant / RestaurantHours / RestaurantSettings
• Menu / MenuCategory / MenuItem / ItemModifierGroup / ItemModifier
• Cart / CartItem / CartItemModifierSelection
• Order / OrderItem / OrderStatusEvent
• Customer / DeliveryAddress
• Driver / DriverAssignment / DriverLocation
• DeliveryZone / Payout

The exact shape depends on your prompt. A single-restaurant ordering site generates a flatter schema than a 50-restaurant marketplace with driver dispatch.

Real example: Regional delivery cooperative competing with DoorDash

Imagine you submit this spec:

"We are a co-op of 12 local restaurants in a mid-sized city building our own delivery platform to compete with DoorDash. Customers browse restaurants, build a cart from one restaurant per order, customize items with modifiers, and check out through Stripe. We dispatch our own pool of drivers. Drivers see assigned orders, accept or decline, and update status as they pick up and deliver. Restaurants get a dashboard to manage menus and see their order queue. We payout restaurants weekly through Stripe Connect after taking a flat 8% fee to cover platform costs."

StackAlchemist generates:

• Restaurant entity with name, cuisine, address, hours, accepts_orders flag, prep_time_default, stripe_connect_account_id
• Menu, MenuCategory, MenuItem entities with prices, descriptions, images, availability windows
• ItemModifierGroup (Size, Toppings, Sides) and ItemModifier (Small/Medium/Large, +$2.00, required/optional) entities
• Cart constrained to a single restaurant_id with CartItem and CartItemModifierSelection entities
• Order with status enum (placed, accepted, preparing, ready, picked_up, delivered, cancelled), OrderItem, and OrderStatusEvent audit trail
• Customer with DeliveryAddress entity supporting multiple saved addresses, default flag, delivery instructions
• Driver entity with status (off, available, on_delivery), current_location lat/lng, and DriverAssignment join entity
• DeliveryZone entity with polygon or radius geometry, delivery_fee, minimum_order_amount
• Payout entity with restaurant_id, period_start, period_end, gross_sales, platform_fee, net_payout, stripe_transfer_id
• API endpoints: GET /restaurants?zone=, POST /orders, PATCH /orders/:id/status, POST /drivers/:id/accept-assignment, GET /restaurants/:id/orders, plus admin endpoints for payouts and reporting

All wired into a Next.js storefront (customer browsing, restaurant operator dashboard, driver mobile-web app) and a .NET backend with Stripe Connect for split payouts and webhook handling. The generated CI/CD pipeline compiles and tests on every push. Docker-compose spins up a local PostgreSQL, the .NET API, and the Next.js frontend in one command.

After you own the code: two next steps

Once the zip arrives and you have the repo cloned, here is what you do:

1. Onboard your first three restaurants in Stripe Connect test mode. The generated repo wires Stripe Connect for split payouts but you need to drop in your own keys and run the Connect onboarding flow for each restaurant. Set STRIPE_API_KEY, STRIPE_CONNECT_CLIENT_ID, and STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET in your .env.local, run the migrations, and walk three restaurant accounts through Stripe's hosted Connect onboarding. Place a test order end-to-end. You now have a working delivery platform with a fee split, no commission to a third party, and customers who belong to you.

2. Tune dispatch logic for your actual city. The generated dispatch logic is a sensible default — assign to nearest available driver within zone, fall back to broadcast. Your city has quirks. Maybe downtown drivers shouldn't take orders that cross the river during rush hour. Maybe you want a 60-second accept window before reassigning. The generated dispatch service is yours to modify — add a ScoreDriverAssignment() method that weights distance, current load, driver rating, and zone traffic. Run a week of real orders, measure pickup-to-delivery time, iterate. This is the work that actually beats DoorDash in your market.

What is not included

StackAlchemist is not DoorDash. We do not provide the driver supply, the restaurant supply, the customer demand, or the marketing engine that makes a delivery marketplace actually work. Building the two-sided (or three-sided) marketplace is the hard part of this business. We generate the technical platform that lets you run one.

Payment compliance (PCI DSS) is your responsibility, but using Stripe Checkout and Stripe Connect offloads the hard part. We do not include SMS notifications, push notifications to driver apps, or third-party logistics integrations unless your spec asks for them — those are wire-ups you do once you own the code. We do not generate native iOS or Android driver apps; the generated driver interface is mobile-web, which is fine for v1 and most cooperatives. If you need a native driver app later, you build it on top of the generated API.

For a single restaurant or a regional cooperative trying to escape commission fees, this is exactly what you want — ownership, no platform fee, no vendor risk. For a national-scale marketplace with venture funding, you are going to outgrow any starter eventually, but this is still the fastest way to v1.
