Could you build this?
Partial The marketplace front-end and ordering flow are vibe-codeable, but handling regulated food-safety verifications, real-world escrow/handover logic, and hyper-local marketplace logistics presents high operational complexity.
What it would actually take: Requires a mobile/web stack (React Native/Next.js) coupled with a scalable backend (Node.js/Go, Postgres) and Stripe Connect for dual-sided marketplace payments, verification, and automated payouts via handover verification tokens. Hard parts involve localized seller vetting compliance (cottage food laws/hygiene certification), dynamic delivery radius dispatching, and fraud/dispute mediation mechanisms.
