## Launch Your On-Demand Delivery Business with Enatega's Open-Source Powerhouse

Hey DEV community! Calling all aspiring entrepreneurs and developers – we're excited to announce that [Enatega](enatega.com), our feature-rich delivery management software, is now open-source! This means you can leverage the power of a proven platform to launch your own food delivery service, or a similar on-demand delivery business, completely free of charge.

**From Humble Beginnings to Open-Source Champion**

Enatega's journey began a few years back as a passionate side project at[ Ninjas Code](ninjascode.com), a software development agency. Our initial goal was to compete head-on with established delivery apps. But we quickly realized that developer chops alone couldn't compete with the marketing muscle of industry giants.

So, we pivoted! We envisioned a future where Enatega empowered others to launch their own delivery ventures. We achieved initial success selling Enatega through third-party marketplaces. However, when a key marketplace closed down, we needed a new strategy. Open-sourcing Enatega emerged as the perfect solution.

**Open Source: Gaining Traction and Building Community**

By open-sourcing Enatega, we gain several key advantages:

* **Organic Growth:** We can build a user base without dumping money into paid marketing campaigns.
* **Vibrant Developer Community:** Open-source fosters collaboration and attracts talented developers who contribute to the project's ongoing improvement.
* **Real-World Validation:** Enatega is already a battle-tested platform used by over 100 startups, giving you confidence in its capabilities.

To ensure financial sustainability, we offer a back-end license with an open API. This caters to users who require advanced features or custom modifications for their specific delivery business needs.
