JOI Delivery is built for real life. For the young professional who gets home late and doesn’t have the energy to cook. For the student with an exam tomorrow and an empty fridge tonight. These aren’t exceptions — they’re everyday moments. That’s why JOI Delivery brings food and groceries to your door, fast, fresh, and right when you need them.
Customers struggle with:
- Cluttered browsing experiences that don’t understand their preferences.
- Limited customization when ordering meals or groceries.
- Unclear order status or delivery timelines.
- Poor payment experience, or failed checkouts.
- Lack of timely feedback channels to report a bad experience or appreciate a good one.

// to be implemented.
}Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:
-
Ruby: The application is built for Ruby version
$3.4.3$ . - A Ruby Version Manager (Recommended): Tools like rbenv or RVM (Ruby Version Manager) are highly recommended to manage different Ruby versions without conflicts.
- Bundler: The standard gem for managing Ruby gem dependencies.
Use your preferred Ruby version manager to install the required version,
-
If you are using
rbenv:$ rbenv install 3.4.3 $ rbenv local 3.4.3 # Sets this version for the current directory
-
If you are using
RVM:$ rvm install 3.4.3 $ rvm use 3.4.3 --create # Installs and switches to the version
Once the correct Ruby version is active, use Bundler to download and install all required libraries (gems) for the project.
$ bundle installExecute the following command to start the application server:
$ bundle exec rake app:startThe application should now be running locally. You can access it in your web browser at: http://localhost:9292/
It's a good practice to run the test suite to ensure everything is set up correctly.
To execute the tests using RSpec:
$ bundle exec rspecIf you encounter issues during setup, try the following:
-
"Command not found" for
bundle: Make sure your Ruby version is properly set and you've rungem install bundlerif it's missing. -
Incorrect Ruby Version: Double-check that your terminal is using Ruby
$3.4.3$ by runningruby -v. If it's not, use your version manager to switch. -
Native Extension Errors: If
bundle installfails with errors about "native extensions," you might be missing system libraries needed to compile certain gems. For instance, on Debian/Ubuntu, you might needsudo apt install build-essential.
If problems persist, please refer to the project's issue tracker or contact a team member for assistance!
