CLOUD-INTEGRATED ONLINE FOOD ORDERING APPLICATION USING DJANGO AND REST API

Abstract

The rapid advancement of web technologies and cloud-based platforms has transformed how customers interact with restaurants and food service providers. Traditional manual food ordering processes are inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to errors, while existing online platforms often lack scalability and integration with advanced cloud services. This paper presents the design and development of a cloudintegrated online food ordering application using the Django framework and REST API. The system is designed to provide a user-friendly interface for customers, robust restaurant management features, and seamless cloud integration for scalability and data security. The study highlights how Django’s built-in security and modular structure combined with REST APIs enable real-time communication between frontend interfaces and cloud-based backends. The proposed system addresses limitations in existing applications by offering scalability, efficiency, and enhanced customer experience, demonstrating that cloud-integrated Django applications can be a sustainable solution for modern food delivery services.
