youRest
White-label ordering for independent restaurants.
youRest is in development. The case study describes the product as it is being built.
youRest is a multi-tenant food delivery platform: each restaurant gets a branded storefront on its own domain, with ordering, payments and scheduled delivery managed from one product.
About the platform
youRest is a white-label food delivery platform for independent restaurants—so they can take online orders without depending on big aggregators. Each company gets its own branded storefront on its own domain; all companies are managed from a single platform. Built as multi-tenant SaaS on Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript and MongoDB, with Stripe Connect, Google Maps, translation APIs, a PWA with push notifications, and coverage in Vitest and Playwright.
The problem
Independent restaurants that want their own branded ordering usually face a poor choice: join a large aggregator and lose the customer relationship, or stitch together menus, payments, slots and dispatch by hand.
The solution
One multi-tenant platform gives each restaurant a storefront on its own domain—multilingual menu, online payments and scheduled delivery—while the platform owner onboards companies, sets commercial terms and tracks settlements from a single admin.

Engineering
Hard problems the product has to get right.
The work is less a demo checkout than the unglamorous constraints of a live operations platform: tenants must not see each other’s data, payments must stay correct when a request is retried, slots must survive time zones, and two people must not claim the same order or route.
Isolate
Tenants
Strict data isolation between companies, including hostname-based tenancy and custom domains.
Safe
Payments on retry
Idempotent Stripe Connect webhooks and hold expiry so a double-submit does not double-charge.
Exact
Delivery time
Slots and the calendar stay correct across time zones and daylight-saving changes.
One
Writer at a time
Concurrency-safe assignment so two operators cannot edit the same order or route into conflict.
How it works
The intended product flow
01
A storefront on the restaurant’s own domain
Hostname-based tenant isolation and custom domain mapping give each company a branded ordering site, not a generic marketplace URL.
02
Guests order, pay and pick a delivery slot
Customers browse a multilingual menu, pay through Stripe Connect and book a scheduled delivery window with capacity control.
03
The restaurant runs the day
A single admin covers orders, a day/week/month delivery calendar, rescheduling and route planning with Google Maps.
04
The platform owner sets the commercial terms
Onboard companies, choose subscription or per-order billing, decide who pays the fee, and track merchant settlements.
Key capabilities
Multi-tenant isolation
Hostname-based tenant isolation, custom domain mapping and per-company branding so one codebase serves many restaurants safely.
