Getting Started with the Uber Eats Clone React Native App

Use this guide after downloading the Uber Eats Clone package. It explains the setup order for the customer app and any restaurant owner, driver, or admin apps included in your package.

Quick Answer​

Run the mobile app locally, connect Firebase, import or create restaurant and menu data, deploy Functions if order tracking or dispatch is included, configure payments if enabled, then test customer ordering, restaurant/admin updates, driver dispatch, notifications, and the shared release checklist.

Depending on the package, you may have:

  • customer ordering app;
  • restaurant owner app;
  • driver app;
  • admin or management app;
  • restaurant, category, menu, cart, order, and driver screens;
