What design strategies would you need to include in your food ordering system user interface if you were planning to implement a version of the application in each country?

Answer 1

So for implementation of the food ordering system, the user interface should be subjected to that countries' fooding habits. The user interface should display to the user only about the restaurant that are available to the particular location. For this the GIS or Geographical Information System can be very helpful in fetching the data of the nearby restaurants and then display it in the user interface. Secondly, it is important that the application should be informative that way it will help users to reach out for what they want and what is best.
