• Parallax Animation: Food items float gently across the screen, creating a sense of movement and excitement. Stock images will replace generic icons for a more professional look.
• Micro-interactions: Hovering over food items triggers subtle animations, such as a bounce or glow effect.
• Restaurant Cards: Cards flip dynamically when hovered over, revealing additional details like ratings and cuisine type, with stock images of restaurant interiors or dishes.
