Web App Development for a Food Industry Behemoth

Overview

This case study highlights the collaborative project with a major multi-brand restaurant operator in the U.S.A. The aim of the project was to improve their online food ordering service. The engagement was structured around the agile model and spanned five months.

Project Challenges

The client sought to enhance and develop their online food ordering platform, with a particular focus on the need for a consistent codebase across all brands and compatibility across multiple platforms. The project needed to deliver a seamless web and mobile application experience.

Project Phases:

01 Background & Context

The project involved collaborating with a large multi-brand restaurant operator in the U.S.A. The client wanted to improve their online food ordering service, ensuring the same codebase across all brands.

02 Agile Approach

The project followed the agile methodology, dividing it into six sprints spanning 18 weeks. Daily scrum meetings facilitated planning and changes.

03 Key Modules

The development phase focused on creating mobile and web apps. Key features included menu listings, cart management, location services, and reorder functionalities.

04 Technology Stack
