A Localized Food Ordering Application Using Spring Boot and React

Abstract The design and development of a geolocation-based web platform that links consumers with local household vendors selling freshly made, home-cooked meals is presented in this paper. Targeting professionals, students, and establishments such as schools and hostels, the system allows customers to order lunches and tiffins from cooks within a 2- to 5-kilometer radius. The platform was developed with a React frontend and a Java Spring Boot backend. It has a contemporary user interface, modular scalability, and key features like order management, vendor dashboards, real-time listings, and user authentication. The app uses proximity-based logic to provide localized service delivery and highlights a simple, elegant design that captures the coziness and confidence of home-cooked meals. The platform exemplifies how lightweight technologies can power community-based food networks while promoting micro-entrepreneurship and healthy eating. The system architecture, key components, and wider societal effects of facilitating hyperlocal, tech-driven food distribution are described in this paper.
