Introduction: In today's fast-paced world, many people struggle to find time to cook a healthy and delicious meal at home. While meal delivery services have become popular, they often come with high costs and limited options. "Local Eats" aims to change that by creating a community-based food delivery service that connects customers with homemade meals from their neighbors, supporting local businesses and creating a sense of community.

How it works: First, customers will need to download the "Local Eats" app and create an account. Then, they can browse through the different menus available and select the meals they would like to order. The app will display the price, payment options, and estimated delivery time for each dish. Once the order is confirmed, it will be sent to the assigned cook for preparation. Delivery and Pick-Up: Customers have the option to have their meals delivered to their doorstep for a small fee or pick them up directly from the cook's home for free. This will not only save delivery costs but also encourage face-to-face interaction and build a sense of community among neighbors. Benefits: 1.
