ChapChap FastFood API

ChapChap Fastfood API

This is my capstone project for ALX Software Engineering Backend Specializtion. It is a FastAPI-based RESTful API with SQLAlchemy as the ORM and PostgreSQL as the database engine. It allows management of users, orders, food items, and deliveries.

Python 3.7 or later
PostgreSQL
