The Challenge
Launch a multi-restaurant delivery aggregator in a market with no established playbook: hundreds of restaurant and grocery catalogs, live fleet dispatch, a cash-heavy payment culture, and full Balkan localization — all on a budget that ruled out a big engineering team.
The Approach
I architected a multi-tenant, event-driven backend on Node.js and Firebase: real-time order pipelines, driver dispatch with live location tracking, and a catalog system flexible enough to model restaurants and grocery stores in the same platform.
Customer, restaurant, and driver apps shipped from a single Angular + Ionic codebase to iOS, Android, and web — so a tiny team could keep three audiences in sync while the order volume grew month after month.
Payments, refunds, and settlement were designed for a cash-first market that was steadily moving to cards — both flows ran through the same accounting pipeline, keeping reporting consistent as the mix shifted.
The Outcome
Ceger Dostava grew into the country's #2 food delivery aggregator, peaking above 80,000 orders a month, and was acquired by Korpa in 2022 — the platform ran through the acquisition without re-engineering.
Almost everything Ceger Dostava had to invent in 2018 is now standard equipment. The auto-dispatch, live tracking and POS-sync feature set a delivery marketplace runs on ships in the box rather than being built per client, and an aggregator starting today gets it on marketplace platform pricing charged per order instead of as a commission on partner revenue — which is the economic problem Ceger had to engineer its way around from the first month.
The architecture proven at Ceger Dostava — multi-tenant, multi-vertical, event-driven — evolved into SuperApp — white-label multi-vertical marketplace platform, built at Devkart Technologies.
