Ionic 4 Food Ordering PWA & App Template is a mobile app theme/template. With this template, you can create a food ordering app like Swiggy, Zomato, Uber Eats, etc.

This template is the front-end part of the food ordering app, which means the screens and user interfaces are ready. You can easily change the screens, styles, and logics to suit your requirements. To make it a live app like Swiggy, Zomato, Uber Eats, etc. you just need to add a back-end to the app, and load your data in the back-end.

Why PWA

A progressive web app (PWA) is a website that looks and behaves as if it is a mobile app. PWAs are built to take advantage of native mobile device features, without requiring the end-user to visit an app store, make a purchase and download software locally. Instead, a PWA can be located with a search engine query and accessed immediately through a browser.
