Our Path to Open Source

Enatega began 4 years ago as a side project at Ninjas Code, our software development agency. We envisioned launching a local delivery app while offering development services. Our initial goal was to compete with a local food delivery company we believed had shortcomings we could address.

However, as developers, we lacked the marketing expertise to compete with industry giants. We pivoted to helping others launch their own delivery services. Initially, we relied on third-party marketplaces, finding success with a product that rivaled others in the market. Unfortunately, the marketplace shut down, forcing us to adapt again.

Leveraging our development expertise, we identified open-sourcing the Enatega App Repo as the best solution. This approach has generated significant traction without extensive paid marketing. We believe in empowering contributors by granting them project visibility and valuable technical experience working on a solution used by over 100 startups.

Enatega Multivendor is a comprehensive multi-vendor food delivery solution for iOS, Android, and Web. It utilizes Amplitude for a robust dashboard and analytics. We prioritized exceptional mobile and dashboard app design, delivering a complete solution for seamless integration into any meal delivery service.
