Chow Drop

Chow Drop is a full food-delivery system for FiveM. Players order meals, deliver for pay, and run restaurant operations from a custom phone app — no world kiosks required.

It supports QBX, QB-Core, and ESX, and works with lb-phone or CodeM mPhone. Core gameplay uses ox_lib, ox_target, oxmysql, and ox_inventory.

Roles are separated by design: customer, driver, and on-duty restaurant staff do not overlap (unless Solo Test Mode is enabled for development).

General Overview

Chow Drop recreates a DoorDash-style loop on your server:

1. Customers open the app, browse businesses you configure, build a cart, pay from bank, and track the order through delivery. After delivery they can tip and rate the driver once.
2. Drivers register in-app, go online, and take NPC jobs and/or player orders. Pickup and drop-off use GPS, ox_target interactions, XP/levels, ratings, a leaderboard, and in-app payment collection.
3. Restaurant staff clock on with the business job. In Staff mode they open/close the restaurant, move orders through pending → accepted → preparing → ready, hand off to drivers, and cancel with a reason when needed.
4. Admins use /cd_admin to create businesses, menus, menu items, and driver pickup coordinates.

How the pieces fit together

Order types

• Player orders — Customer → on-duty staff → driver → customer. Staff control kitchen status; drivers handle pickup GPS and delivery to the player.
• NPC orders — Generated for online drivers. Pickup and delivery use spawned NPCs or door drop-off zones; pay and XP are awarded on completion.

Compatibility

Install with a single schema (sql/install.sql), set framework/phone in config.lua (or leave auto), and ensure dependencies start before bs_chowdrop.
