Project Brief: Full-Stack Developer(s) Needed for IndianCurry.com (Web3 + AI Food Platform)

PLEASE READ AND THEN RESPOND ACCORDINGLY. THANKYOU :)

About the Project

IndianCurry.com is an upcoming AI-powered, Web3-enabled food and culture platform focused on the UK market. Our mission is to modernise the Indian food discovery experience while rewarding users through tokenised incentives (CurryCoins).

The platform sits on four core pillars:

-Restaurant Listings + Reviews
-Indian food Recipes
-Online Shop
-CurryCoin Tokenisation (Rewards + Gamification)

The goal: a platform that merges Deliveroo × TripAdvisor × Web3 rewards × Indian culture into one modern, mobile-first experience.

What We Are Looking For

We require experienced full-stack developers or a small team to deliver a feature-rich MVP with scalability in mind.

Skill Requirements

- React / Next.js
- Node.js / Python / Go backend
- PostgreSQL / MongoDB
- API integrations (Food Hygiene Rating API UK)
- Web3 or rewards system experience
- UX/UI design for modern, mobile-first layouts
- Admin panel development
- SEO optimisation
- Stripe payments

Scope of Work (MVP)

1. Restaurant Directory

-Add/claim restaurant listings
-Search + advanced filtering
-Map view (Google Maps or Mapbox)
-Food Hygiene Rating API integration
-User reviews + ratings
-Image gallery
-Backend moderation tools

2. IndianCurry Trust Index (Core Feature)

This is a unique scoring system combining multiple factors to help users quickly assess a restaurant’s credibility.

The system should calculate a “Trust Score” based on:

-Food Hygiene Rating (live API data)
-UK Companies House register check
-Verified Reviews (weighted > non-verified)
-Review sentiment analysis (AI integration)
-Restaurant responsiveness (reply to reviews, update profile, etc.)
-Listing completeness score (photos, menu, opening hours, etc.)
-Longevity & consistency (account age + hygiene history)

Developer Requirements:

-Build a Trust Index algorithm (we will provide specific weighting)
-Display Trust Score visually (e.g., badge, bar, 0–100 scale, or 5-tier levels)
-Show breakdown on the restaurant profile
-Allow future updates to the scoring logic
-Include Trust Score inside search results and filters

This feature must be built modular and scalable for future AI enhancements.

-Categories + detailed recipe pages
-User-submitted recipes
-Optional AI recipe generator (OpenAI API)
-Save/favourite feature

4. Online Shop

-Product categories
-Shopping cart

-Stripe integration

5. User Accounts

6. CurryCoin Rewards (MVP)

A points-based simulation preparing for future tokenisation.

Users earn points for:

-Leaving reviews

-Rewards shown in dashboard (no blockchain needed yet).

7. Modern UI/UX

-Smooth animations
-Clean, fast, mobile-first design

8. Admin Panel
