Pricing Model

Stakeholder	Model	Amount
Restaurant	Monthly subscription	$500/month
Restaurant	Per-order fee	$0.10/order
Restaurant	CC processing (Stripe)	2.9% + $0.30
Driver	Daily access fee	$20/day
Driver	Delivery fee	$5 per delivery (kept 100%)
Driver	Tips	100% kept
Customer	Delivery fee	$5 flat
Customer	Hidden fees	$0

Driver Break-Even

• 4 deliveries × $5 = $20 → break even
• Every delivery after #4 = pure profit
• Tips never counted against break-even

Restaurant Savings Example (100 orders/day)

• UberEats at 30% on $35 avg: $31,500/month
• The Vibe: $500 + $300 + CC ≈ $3,400/month
• Savings: ~$28,000/month

Environment Variables Required

See .env.example for full list. Key ones:

• DATABASE_URL — PostgreSQL + PostGIS connection string
• STRIPE_SECRET_KEY — Stripe API key

Performance Targets

Metric	Target
Restaurants	1,000+
Active drivers	5,000
Orders/day	50,000
Location updates/sec	~50,000 (drivers × 0.2hz)
DB connections	max 20 (pg pool)

Scale path: Redis adapter for Socket.IO → horizontal Node scaling → Postgres read replicas.
