The food delivery alternative, empowering communities.OpenDeli is a decentralized, open-source food delivery network that empowers local restaurants and couriers to establish their operations on their own terms, ensuring fair treatment, lower fees, and full control over collaborations.

Couriers• Co-ownership: businesses, drivers, companies, co-ops, non-profits
• Drivers advocate for local rights

Restaurants• Create own company, collaborate locally
• Break from major delivery services
• Shared ownership of delivery services
• More say for restaurants

Consumers• Support communities with every order
• Empower businesses: value-driven choices
• Align food preferences with values
• Community support per purchase

Who's this for?
-For everyone, anywhereWe aim to build a community of restaurants, gig-economy couriers, and food
enthusiasts who love discovering local culinary gems.

What we are working onWe are implementing three different mobile apps at the moment:

RestaurantThe Restaurant app empowers local eateries to join the open-source delivery ecosystem effortlessly. By integrating with the federated protocol, restaurants can manage orders, update menus, and communicate directly with couriers and consumers. This app ensures that restaurants can maintain control over their operations while benefiting from a decentralized, community-driven delivery network.

CourierThe Courier app is designed to streamline the delivery process within the open-source delivery network. Living in the Fediverse and implementing federated protocols, this app allows couriers to receive, manage, and track delivery requests seamlessly. With real-time updates and efficient route planning, couriers can ensure timely deliveries while staying connected with other nodes in the federated network.

ConsumerThe Consumer app offers users a convenient way to browse, order, and track deliveries from their favorite local restaurants within the Fediverse. Utilizing the federated protocol, this app provides a seamless and secure experience, allowing consumers to connect with multiple restaurants and couriers. With user-friendly features and real-time notifications, the Consumer app ensures a satisfying and efficient ordering experience.
