Documentation · Version 1.0.0

A step-by-step, picture-first guide. Follow the pages in order and you will have the backend live, the admin panel running and your branded customer, restaurant and driver apps built, without editing the database by hand.

Set up Go4Food in 8 steps

Follow the steps in this order. Each one builds on the one before it, and the sidebar follows the same order. Plan about half a day for your first full setup.

Please do not skip a step

Most "the app shows nothing" or "sign-in does not work" problems come from a skipped setup step. Tick each task in the Setup checklist as you go.

Most of Go4Food is changed from the admin panel

App colours, currency, languages, payment gateways, commission, delivery charges, zones, documents, onboarding screens, policies, the landing page text and every email template are settings in the admin panel. You only touch code files for the few things a phone needs at build time: package name, app name, launcher icon and logo images, Firebase connection and the Google Maps key.

Before you start

Have these ready, then begin with Step 1.

Firebase Blaze planCloud Functions, Storage and phone sign-in need the pay-as-you-go plan. It still includes Firebase's free monthly usage. A computer with FlutterWindows, macOS or Linux for Android and the websites. A Mac with Xcode is needed for the iPhone apps. Third-party servicesWhat is free, what is paid, and which accounts you need: Google Play, Apple, payment gateways, Maps.
