Food Ordering and Delivery App Development

The client contacted Capital Numbers because it wanted to revamp its online food ordering platform. The platform’s existing codebase was prone to error, difficult to read, and hard to use as building blocks for enhancements. It required massive refactoring. To overcome this problem, the client counted on us.

We’ve been a partner of choice for global enterprises for over a decade. So, when this client approached us, we reinvested our learning and resources to deliver a cost-effective solution that would improve the code quality and boost website performance.

However, our challenge was to rewrite the entire code with structured logic without changing its underlying functionality. Secondly, we also had to automate the software build and run tests to speed up deployment.

TWe started by running code audits to identify all potential risks in the system. Next, we eliminated all architectural flaws and crafted a cleaner codebase to improve software quality.

To ensure a powerful UX and boost customer journey, we implemented the following technologies:

To begin with, we used Vue,js for frontend development. We chose Vue because of its detailed documentation, integration capabilities, and reusable components. Apart from being a lightweight framework, Vue is size-efficient and comes with built-in solutions that prevent engineers from reinventing the wheel, thereby speeding up development.

Next, we used Jenkins to automate every development stage, reduce time-to-market, and cut down on costs. Jenkins automates tasks like building, deploying, testing, and releasing. It simplifies continuous integration (CI) and reduces the number of iterations without affecting the product quality.

To make the app cross-platform compatible, we used PhoneGap. With PhoneGap, we could access native APIs better and leverage a single code for multiple platforms. This improved efficiency and helped us save time.

We used Google Maps API to help users find restaurant locations on-the-go. Google Maps was an instant choice because it helps users with pictures, street views, and directions. Plus, its data accuracy outperforms all other Map APIs.

Next, we used Google Analytics to help the client extract huge datasets in a snap. Providing real-time custom reports, Google Analytics is perfect for on-the-fly data analysis. We leveraged its API to deliver critical insights so that the client knows what’s working and what’s not.

For enhancing the look and feel of the website, we used jQuery. It helps add great-looking effects and animations on pages. Besides, its clean and beautiful syntax allows pages to load fast.

Finally, to integrate a secure and robust payment functionality, we used Stripe. This leading payment solution is easy to set up with zero maintenance costs. It helps move money quickly, offers a seamless checkout experience, and bills customers without storing card details.

By implementing the above, we successfully modernized the food delivery platform to improve the client’s business efficiency. We re-architectured it with improved code quality to turn it into a new, more effective food delivery app.

Rewriting the system components was a challenge. But, our in-depth development expertise helped us achieve it well within the timeline.
