Case study · Global Food-Ordering Platform

Global Food-Ordering Platform.

A full-featured ordering platform built for a fictional global food chain concept — engineered to match the depth and polish of real production ordering systems used by major fast-food brands worldwide.

This is a concept/demo project, built by Foronyx to showcase full-stack ordering-platform capability — not a commissioned client.

Overview

Real food-ordering platforms need to handle far more than a menu and a cart — live inventory-style state sync, dynamic pricing from customization, and true international support across language and currency. This concept project was built to demonstrate exactly that: a genuinely functional, production-grade ordering experience, not just a styled mockup.

The challenge

Most portfolio "demo" ordering sites are static — a menu grid and a fake checkout button. The goal here was different: build something that actually behaves like a real ordering platform end to end, with state that stays consistent everywhere it's shown, pricing that computes correctly through every customization path, and genuine multi-market support rather than a single hardcoded currency.

The approach

How we built it.

  • Built with React + TypeScript on Vite, with a fully client-side cart and locale system persisted via localStorage.

  • Live two-way cart synchronization — item quantities stay in sync between the menu grid and the cart drawer in real time, with no state drift.

  • Dynamic item customization (ingredient toggles, add-ons, spice levels) with per-configuration pricing, each stored as its own distinct cart line.

  • “Make it a meal?” upsell flow with correct combo-pricing logic.

  • 12-country locale system — one switcher sets language and currency together (8 languages, 8 currencies), auto-detected from the browser on load and manually overridable.

  • Geolocation-based store finder — real distance calculation (Haversine formula) against fixed outlet locations, with a graceful fallback if location access is denied.

  • Promo code engine supporting percentage discounts, category-specific discounts, and free-delivery codes.

  • Custom flat-icon illustration system built for every menu item — no stock photography, no emoji.

12 countries

One combined switcher sets both language and currency, matching how real global ordering platforms handle localization.

8 languages

~150 UI strings translated and type-checked, so no locale can silently ship with missing text.

The result

A genuinely functional platform.

Not a mockup. Every core mechanic — cart, customization, upsells, currency conversion, geolocation — works end to end and has been directly tested, not just assumed. It demonstrates the kind of full-stack, stateful, internationalized build Foronyx can deliver for a real client with similar needs — e-commerce, food ordering, or any product requiring genuine cart/checkout logic.
