        abstract = {YumRush is a full-stack food delivery web application built on the MERN stack, featuring a four-role system (Customer, Shop Owner, Delivery Boy, and Administrator) with role-specific dashboards. It incorporates JWT and Google Auth for authentication, bcrypt for password security, and Nodemailer for OTP-based password recovery. Real-time delivery tracking is enabled via Socket.io, Leaflet maps, and GPS, while a MongoDB 2dsphere geospatial algorithm auto-assigns the nearest available delivery personnel within a 5 km radius. The platform supports multi-shop cart splitting, Cash on Delivery, and Razorpay UPI payments, with email OTP for order confirmation. Deployed on Render, YumRush delivers a seamless, production-ready end-to-end food ordering and delivery experience.},
