About the Client

A UK-based entrepreneur from London approached us with the idea to rebuild and scale an online food delivery platform that connects customers, restaurants, and delivery agents into a single digital ecosystem. Their goal was to offer a seamless, UberEats-style experience focused on speed, simplicity, and scalability.

Objectives

  • Develop a feature-rich food delivery app with distinct panels for customers, restaurants, and drivers.
  • Ensure real-time tracking, order status visibility, and secure payments.
  • Deliver an intuitive UX to make food ordering hassle-free.
  • Implement a robust backend to handle high traffic and support future scalability.
  • Support multi-cuisine categorization, promo codes, and custom instructions for personalized orders.

Challenges Faced

  • Designing a clean UI that fits three user roles (customer, restaurant, driver) with minimal complexity.
  • Building a dispatch logic system that could handle auto-assignment to nearest drivers efficiently.
  • Ensuring real-time updates for order statuses and delivery tracking.
  • Integrating secure multi-payment options while complying with UK digital transaction standards.
  • Achieving high performance and low load time during peak usage hours.
