Process

How We Build It

A proven 5-step process that de-risks your project and gets you to market fast.

01

Discovery

We map your market, users and the exact workflows your product must support, and lock the technical architecture before we write code.

02

Design

UI/UX and interaction design for every role in the system, prototyped and testable before development.

03

Development

Agile sprints with weekly builds. The consumer app, partner/provider backend and admin run in parallel so you see working software every week.

04

Testing

QA across devices, browsers and edge cases. Performance, security and usability are verified before every release.

05

Launch and Support

Deployment, monitoring, analytics and a post-launch maintenance plan so the product keeps improving after go-live.

What does a restaurant app cost?

Custom development ranges from $5,000-$100,000+ depending on scope; a POS-integrated ordering product is faster and lower cost.

Can it integrate with my POS?

Restaurants Are Taking Back Their Orders
