We're thrilled to announce that [Enatega](https://enatega.com/), our delivery management software designed to launch food delivery or similar businesses, is now open source! After a 4-year journey, 100+ deployments, and valuable lessons learned, we're excited to share Enatega with the developer community.

**Why Open Source?**

Our story began 4 years ago at [Ninjas Code](https://ninjascode.com/), a software development agency. We envisioned Enatega as a local competitor to an existing food delivery app, but we lacked the marketing muscle to compete with giants. We pivoted to helping others launch their own delivery services, initially relying on marketplaces. However, when a key marketplace shut down, we needed a new strategy.

Open sourcing Enatega turned out to be a game-changer. It's allowed us to gain traction without heavy marketing, while offering contributors project visibility and real-world development experience. Our business model involves a licensed backend with an open API (source code remains proprietary), ensuring long-term sustainability for customization needs.
