Powering Local Cuisine Delivery with Our Food App Clone Solution
Overview:
A regional restaurant chain in Southeast Asia was struggling to compete with aggregator apps that took hefty commissions. The owner wanted a branded food delivery app that could integrate all their restaurant locations under one digital umbrella while improving customer experience and loyalty.
Challenges:
- High dependency on third-party apps and limited customer control
- Inability to track delivery performance in real-time
- No centralized menu or promotional engine
- High cart abandonment due to poor UX
Solutions:
The restaurant owner approached us with a vision but limited digital experience. We walked them through:
- Required licenses to operate an independent delivery platform
- Marketing advice for their geographic zones (Instagram campaigns and door-drop flyers)
- Investment breakdown (design, hosting, team training, and promotional budget)
We then customized our Food Delivery App Clone to meet their needs. Features included:
- Customer App: Real-time delivery tracking, reorder function, scheduled deliveries, loyalty rewards, OTP confirmation, multi-address support
- Restaurant Panel: Order alerts, kitchen preparation timer, in-app chat with delivery partner
- Delivery Partner App: Order tracking, performance analytics, earnings overview, proof of delivery
- Admin Panel: Manage multiple branches, real-time analytics, commission settings, coupon engine, tax/GST management
- Menu Management: Real-time edit, stock visibility, image uploads
- Customer Support: In-app help desk, live chat, feedback tickets
We also localized the UI in multiple Southeast Asian languages and integrated mobile wallets used in that region.
Technology:
- Frontend: Native Apps (iOS & Android)
- Backend: Node.js with MySQL
- Maps: Google Maps API with Distance Matrix
- Hosting: AWS with load balancing and auto-scale enabled
Outcome:
The app transformed the client’s delivery business. In 90 days, the platform saw a 4x increase in direct digital orders. Customers loved the loyalty rewards and the average cart size grew by 28%. Cart abandonment dropped from 38% to 12%.
The restaurant owner said, “Working with your team gave me the confidence to own our customer journey. We never imagined a single clone app could give us so many tools. Now we manage 3 outlets and planning to open 2 more. Thank you for helping us think and grow digital.”
