Hi Guys,

I was building up an app for restaurant food ordering system, but I was bit confused that, how to make it a final order where ever dish has add to cart option and at last it generates one final order with all payments added.

Thanks,

> The flow would look like this, assuming your users are signed in: Add a Cart table that would contain the order id, the item id and the quantity. In your users table, add a “current order ID” column. Assuming you have an Items screen, on the entry to the details view of that screen, check if your “current order ID” is empty. If empty, set a unique ID to the “current order ID” column, then show them the details screen. Else just show them the details screen without doing anything. Add a form in…

Here’s an approach you can consider.

To add on to that, maybe when you check out, make an thing where you can put an street address to pick it up (EX. Your House). And that when they receive it, make a component where you can add notifications for the worker, so they could drive to the place and give the food.
