DuBites - Food Delivery System 🍔

A simple, console-based food delivery system built with Java. This project simulates the core functionalities of a food ordering application, allowing for the management of users, restaurants, and orders directly from the command line.

✨ Features

• User Management: Create and manage user accounts.
• Restaurant Listings: View a list of available restaurants.
• Order Processing: Place and track food orders.
• Data Persistence: User, restaurant, and order data are saved locally using .dat files.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Language: Java

🚀 Getting Started

Follow these instructions to get a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK) installed (e.g., JDK 11 or newer).
• An IDE like IntelliJ IDEA or Eclipse, or just a command-line terminal.

Installation & Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/DevNexus09/DuBites-FoodDelivarySystem.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd DuBites-FoodDelivarySystem

3. Compile the Java source files: If you are in the src directory, you can compile the project using javac.

   # Navigate to the source directory
   cd src
   
   # Compile all .java files
   javac *.java

   (Note: The exact command might vary based on your project structure and main class.)

Usage

1. Run the application: After compiling, run the main class from the terminal.

   # Replace 'Main' with the name of your main class file
   java Main

2. Follow the on-screen prompts in the console to navigate the application, register as a new user, browse restaurants, and place an order.

📝 Future Improvements

• Implement peer to peer networking among users from different locations
• Add more detailed restaurant menus.
• Integrate a proper database instead of .dat files for more robust data management.
