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.”
