After a 4-year journey through the world of proprietary software, we're excited to announce that we've taken the big leap into open source with the release of Enatega[(enatega.com)](http://enatega.com) - a delivery management software that is made to launch your own food delivery or any other relevant business. 


**Easy Setup, Cross-Platform Goodness**

Forget clunky workflows and tangled dependencies. Enatega is all about streamlined development. A few commands and you're up and running locally. Plus, its cross-platform compatibility means you can leverage your existing emulators or devices for testing – no need for extra hardware headaches.

**Open Source Philosophy: All the Tools You Need**

Enatega embraces open source, providing everything you need to hit the ground running. Live demos, comprehensive documentation, and helpful video tutorials ensure you're not starting from scratch. Dive right into building your delivery solution with confidence.

**Get Your Hands Dirty: Dive into the Codebase**

The entire Enatega codebase is readily available on GitHub (https://github.com/ninjas-code-official/food-delivery-multivendor). Clone the repo, explore the code, and get ready to customize Enatega to your specific needs. Whether you're looking to contribute or build your own unique delivery platform, the source code is your launchpad.

**The Enatega Journey: From Closed to Open**

Enatega's story began as a side project at [Ninjas Code](http://ninjascode.com), a software development agency. The initial goal was to create a solution for the local market that addressed shortcomings in existing food delivery apps. However, the Ninjas Code team  quickly recognized the limitations of competing with industry giants without a massive marketing budget.

**From Competitor to Collaborator: The Power of Open Source**

A strategic pivot transformed Enatega from competitor to collaborator. The focus shifted to empowering others to launch their own delivery services. Initially, Enatega relied on third-party marketplaces for promotion. While successful at first, the closure of a key marketplace forced the team to adapt once more.

**Open Source as a Marketing Engine**

The Ninjas Code team realized the power of open-source and made the decision to release the Enatega App Repo publicly. This shift has resulted in significant traction without the need for expensive marketing campaigns.  Enatega offers a valuable proposition to developers: gain project visibility and practical experience working on a solution used by over 100 startups!

**Monetization and a Sustainable Future**

Enatega understands the need for a sustainable business model. While the core Enatega codebase remains open-source, a licensing model exists for the backend API. This ensures ongoing project development and support. The source code for the backend remains proprietary, but a license unlocks access for those who require a fully self-hosted solution.

**Enatega Multivendor: A Feature-Packed Powerhouse**

Enatega Multivendor is a comprehensive multi-vendor food delivery solution designed for iOS, Android, and web platforms. It leverages Amplitude to provide a robust dashboard and analytics suite. Enatega boasts a beautiful mobile and web app design, ensuring a seamless user experience for both customers and restaurant owners.
