Types of food delivery and ordering apps we develop

We build food ordering systems for any platform — web, mobile, kiosk — helping you create omnichannel experiences for your customers.
Table reservation app development
A table booking app lets guests reserve, join a waitlist, and get status updates without calling the restaurant. Add deposits or card holds for peak hours, plus smart table assignment to keep pacing under control. Over time, the system can spot patterns (turn times, no-show risk) and help hosts quote more realistic waits.
Tableside ordering app development
A tableside ordering system lets guests browse the menu, customize items, and place orders when they’re ready. Add allergy notes, split bills, and pay-at-table to reduce friction for both guests and staff. Recommendations can be tailored based on what actually sells well at that location and time instead of generic upsells.
Self-ordering kiosk app development
Self-order kiosks take pressure off the counter: customers place orders, customize meals, and pay without queueing for a staff member. Make it stronger with multilingual flows, allergen prompts, and guided “build your meal” steps that prevent mistakes. For some venues, voice input can be a practical upgrade, especially during peak hours.
Online food delivery app development
A custom delivery app lets you take control of online orders instead of paying commissions to multiple delivery aggregators. Customers can browse the menu, order for delivery or pickup, and track orders in real time, while you keep ownership of customer data and margins. Built-in dispatch logic, clear ETAs, and automated status updates reduce operational noise during peak hours.

We integrate with your POS and other hardware

The majority of POS and other hardware systems offer APIs that allow us to integrate them with your app. If you’re already using a restaurant point of sale system, card readers, kitchen printers, VAT boxes, and other hardware, we’ll integrate your custom online ordering and food delivery app into your existing business processes.

Make your own restaurant app with custom functionality

1
Waiter app integration
By integrating a waiter app in your online ordering solution, you can increase ordбer accuracy and make your waiters’ lives easier.
2
Upsell management
Develop smart upselling functionality that encourages your customers to purchase more items that complement their current selections.
3
Special offers and discounts
Build a powerful marketing channel with personalized discounts, deals, and offers integrated into your solution.
4
Stop list and promo management
Allow your app to update the menu instantly. This will come in handy if you need to stop selling some menu items or want to promote new dishes.
5
Logistics and route generation
Match orders with drivers based on their location and method of transportation. Build the fastest routes to deliver meals on time.
6
Realistic delivery estimates
Different dishes require different cooking times. Give your customers accurate estimates of when their orders will be ready.
7
Loyalty programs
Reward and engage your loyal customers. You can also implement functionality for surveys and customer feedback.
8
Analytics and machine learning
Use analytics and machine learning algorithms to better manage upselling and get important insights to run your business.
9
Personalized menu suggestions
Menus can adjust based on ordering history, time of day, or popular combinations. Instead of generic upsells, customers see suggestions that ideally match their preferences, making ordering faster, more intuitive and pleasant.
10
Conversational ordering and support
In-app or web-based AI assistants can help customers place orders, check availability, modify reservations, and track deliveries. These interactions reduce friction for guests and significantly cut down routine questions handled by staff.
11
Prep planning
Use order patterns to spot upcoming rushes, pressure points, and prep gaps early. This gives kitchens time to adjust staffing, prep volumes, and pacing before service gets hectic.
12
Actionable insights
Get intel on what’s selling, what’s slowing kitchens down, and where customers drop off in the ordering flow. The same data can power relevant upsell prompts, like combo suggestions, add-ons, and upgrades that match the customer’s choices, boosting revenue without extra workload.
