Restaurant Ordering System

October 18, 2023

Project Overview

We built a comprehensive online restaurant ordering and management system designed to streamline food ordering, delivery, and in-house operations.

The platform enables customers to browse menus, place online orders, make reservations, and track deliveries, while restaurant owners can manage orders, menus, payments, and analytics through a powerful dashboard.

Challenges

The main challenges included:

  • Building a real-time order management system for multiple branches
  • Integrating secure online payments with multiple gateways
  • Designing a smooth and responsive experience for both mobile and desktop users
  • Supporting delivery tracking with live status updates

Our Approach

We followed an agile, customer-first development strategy:

  1. Conducted user research with restaurant owners, staff, and customers
  2. Designed interactive prototypes to ensure a seamless ordering experience
  3. Developed a robust multi-branch architecture with real-time order syncing
  4. Integrated delivery tracking via Google Maps API
  5. Implemented secure payment flows supporting credit cards, wallets, and cash on delivery

Technologies Used

The system was built using:

  • Expo React Native for a dynamic and responsive frontend (web and mobile)
  • TypeScript for maintainable and scalable development
  • Node.js & Express for backend APIs
  • MongoDB for managing restaurant menus, orders, and customer data
  • Stripe & PayPal for secure online payment processing
  • WebSockets for real-time order status updates
  • Google Maps API for delivery tracking and distance calculation

Results

The platform achieved excellent results after launch:

  • 35% increase in online orders within the first month
  • Reduced in-house order processing time by 50%
  • Enabled real-time tracking for over 1,200 daily deliveries
  • Positive feedback from 92% of customers and restaurant staff

Conclusion

This project highlights our expertise in developing scalable, real-time, and customer-friendly food ordering solutions.

We are currently working with the client on Phase 2, which includes loyalty programs, AI-powered recommendations, and integration with food delivery partners.
