The one-line summary
A delivery business runs on three people who never see each other's screens: the vendor who prepares the order, the rider who carries it, and the admin who keeps it all moving. We designed one connected system for all three, so an order never gets lost between hands.
The challenge: three users, one order, no room for confusion
FoodGo needed a delivery platform for a market where cash on delivery (COD) is common. That makes the product harder than a typical delivery app:
Riders carry cash and need to know exactly what they owe and to whom.
Vendors need to hand over the right order to the right rider, and get paid correctly.
Admins need to see every order and rider in real time and fix problems fast.
Every handover is a chance for a dispute, a lost order or missing money. The brief was never "make a delivery app look good". It was:
How do you design a system where every order, every handover and every rupee can be traced?
Our approach: map the order's journey first, design screens second
Before drawing any screen we mapped one order from start to finish: placed, assigned, picked up, on the way, arrived, completed, and then cash settled. Each step became a clear status that all three roles see consistently. That shared language is what keeps vendors, riders and admins in sync.
The solution: five design decisions that make a delivery platform work
1. A rider load board built for one-handed use
Riders work on the move, so the Assigned and In Progress tabs sit at the top, each order card shows pickup, drop-off and fee at a glance, and a single green Pick & Pay bar stays pinned at the bottom for the active order. Pending COD is shown in the header, so a rider always knows what cash they hold.
Business impact: Fewer taps per delivery means faster handovers, fewer mistakes and less rider training.

2. Cash on delivery treated like a financial flow, not an afterthought
Pending COD, confirmed COD and completed COD each have their own clear status, and the rider settles the balance through a dedicated screen with a handover confirmation. The vendor has the matching view, with a "Collection Confirmed" state.
Business impact: Both sides confirm the same cash movement, which cuts disputes and gives the business a clear audit trail.

3. PIN handover: a simple check that stops wrong pickups
At pickup, the rider asks the vendor for a PIN shown on the vendor's screen and enters it in the app. The same screen shows the payable amount and the delivery fee, so there are no surprises at the counter.
Business impact: The right order goes to the right rider, and both sides see the amounts before money changes hands.

4. A vendor dashboard that answers "how is today going?" in one glance
Today's revenue, orders, orders on the way and returns appear at the top. Tabs for All, Active, Returns and COD Pending, plus the rider's name, distance and delivery fee on each card, mean a vendor rarely has to call anyone to ask where an order is.
Business impact: Fewer "where is my order?" calls, and a faster response when something is returned.

5. An admin control room with live map, load board and built-in chat
The admin sees total and active riders, COD pending, unassigned orders and live status counts, all on one screen with a live map. Unassigned orders carry a bright Assign Order button, and every active order opens to a full detail view with route, activity log and a chat thread that includes the rider and the vendor.
Business impact: Problems like an invalid gate code or an unassigned order are solved in one place, in minutes, instead of through phone calls and screenshots.

Beyond the main screens: a complete product, not a highlight reel
The project covers more than 60 screens across the three roles, including:
Rider: login, load board, order views for every status, order history, earnings, wallet and order completion
Vendor: add order, all orders, active and returned orders, order history, COD collection and support
Admin: dashboard, all orders, riders, vendors, queries, activity log and announcements, plus add and edit flows for riders and vendors
Every flow shares one component library and one status language, so developers can build it consistently and new roles or features can be added without redesigning the foundations.
