Hey developers!   We're excited to announce that [Enatega](enatega.com), our delivery management software designed to help you launch your own food delivery business, is now open-source! 

**Enatega's Open-Source Journey**

Enatega's story began four years ago as a side project at [Ninjas Code](ninjascode.com), a software development agency. Our initial goal was to compete head-on with established food delivery apps. But we quickly realized the limitations of competing solely on marketing muscle. 

We pivoted to empowering others to launch their own delivery ventures. While this strategy proved successful through third-party marketplaces, a closure forced us to rethink our approach. Open-sourcing Enatega emerged as the perfect solution.

**Why Open Source?**

This approach allows us to gain traction organically, while fostering a vibrant developer community around a real-world project used by over 100 startups.  This is your chance to get involved in a project with a proven track record and contribute to something that's actively being used!

To ensure financial sustainability, we offer a back-end license with an open API. This provides licensed users the ability to modify and customize the core code for specific needs.
