Project Brief

The food delivery industry has seen a rapid shift towards mobile app-based solutions as customers seek convenience and speed in fulfilling their dining needs. With the demand for on-the-go food ordering, a client approached EFFE Technology with the vision to develop a robust, user-friendly online food ordering app. This project was a crucial step in advancing food ordering app development, addressing the need for seamless connections between users and local restaurants, and delivering an efficient experience from browsing menus to having food delivered to their doorsteps.

Our task was to develop a feature-rich food delivery application for both iOS and Android platforms. The application needed to offer an intuitive interface, real-time order tracking, secure payment processing, and a variety of restaurants to choose from. It also required features that allowed users to customize their orders, rate restaurants, and track deliveries in real time, reflecting the best practices in food ordering app development.

3. Secure Payment Gateway: The application needed to support multiple payment methods, ensuring secure and seamless transactions for users.
4. Restaurant Integration: The app should display a wide range of local restaurants, including their menus, prices, ratings, and availability.
5. Order Customization: Users needed the ability to customize their orders according to their preferences, including ingredients, portion sizes, etc.
6. Push Notifications: Customers should receive push notifications about their order status, promotions, and new restaurant listings.
7. Rating and Review System: A feature to allow customers to rate and review restaurants after receiving their order.
