The Authentic Homemade Product Retail And Discovery Platform | IJCT Volume 12 – Issue 6 | IJCT-V12I6P5

Local business owners and home-based food producers now have more ways to reach a larger audience because to the explosive expansion of internet markets. Many, however, do not have access to a genuine and reasonably priced online platform that guarantees product visibility, trust, and transaction simplicity. By matching consumers with vetted vendors of traditional foods and homemade snacks, the Authentic Homemade Food Retail and Discovery Platform aim to close this gap. The platform, which was developed with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js), offers a smooth ordering, product discovery, and review experience. In order to maintain openness and confidence between buyers and sellers, the system includes modules for user identification, product management, rating and review analysis, and safe online ordering. By providing a digital marketplace for them to sell their goods, it also empowers housewives and small-scale food producers, encouraging self-employment and local entrepreneurship. User happiness and engagement are increased by sophisticated features including feedback-based product ranking, real-time order tracking, and personalized suggestions. By maintaining the classic quality of home-cooked meals in the digital age, the suggested platform not only promotes the expansion of small businesses but also fortifies community-based trade

To sum up, The Authentic handmade Food Retail and Discovery Platform offer a productive, safe, and easy-to-use online marketplace that connects producers of handmade foods with buyers looking for genuine, premium goods. The system guarantees effective speed, scalability, and an engaging user experience by utilizing the MERN stack. Modules for product management, orders, payments, reviews, and authentication are included to guarantee seamless operation and the development of buyer-seller confidence. In addition to technology, the platform supports local economic development and empowers home-based business owners. It is a sustainable strategy that maintains ethnic culinary diversity in the digital age while also improving accessibility to traditional handcrafted cuisine.
