Requirements for Food Ordering Software

Google Map Cloud Account

A Google Cloud Account with proper Billing Setup is the most important thing required to use Food Ordering Software Food Ordering Software relies on some APIs provided by Google Maps and also some upcoming features are coming using Google Maps.

Geocoding API, Maps Javascript API, Places API, Maps Static API, GeoLocation API, are the APIs Food Ordering System uses without which it is impossible to use Food Ordering Software.

Also, we cannot replace the Google APIs dependency with any other services like MapBox or OpenStreetMap or anything else as our system is fully coupled with Google Services internally.
