Case Study

ByteEat – Food Ordering Solution

ByteEat initially planned to develop a SaaS-based custom food ordering system that included a website and an order-taking app for restaurants. The system was designed to offer multiple theme options for customization. However, the plan shifted from a SaaS platform to a single script-based solution, allowing ByteEat to deploy on-demand websites with complete food ordering functionality for individual restaurants.

Features

  • Website (Restaurant landing page)
  • Food Ordering system.
  • Table booking system.
  • Multiple themes system.
  • Restaurant Panel.
  • Order Taking App

 

UI/UX Design

Our design designed multiple home page designs for various types of restaurants. We have used a pre-built template for the admin dashboard and restaurant panel.

 

Development

Our talented development team began by designing a comprehensive flowchart outlining the entire development process. Following this, we implemented each feature step by step. In the first stage, we developed a complete web-based solution. Afterwards, we created a separate API module specifically for the mobile app.

For the backend, we used the PHP Yii framework, while MySQL was chosen as the database.

 

Restaurant Panel: 

We developed a user-friendly restaurant panel for restaurant admins. Through this panel, restaurant owners can easily manage their operations by adding menus, setting availability, updating homepage content, creating special offers, and managing orders.

 

Customer Food Ordering:

The front-end food ordering and multi-step checkout system was built using JavaScript. We designed the system to be modular, allowing restaurants to integrate any online payment gateway on demand. Initially, we integrated Stripe for payment processing within the system.

 

Customer Order-Taking App:

We developed an Android-based hybrid app that allows restaurants to receive orders and automatically print receipts using a ticket printer. The app was designed and tested with the popular Sunmi V2 Pro, an Android-based portable ticket printer, ensuring seamless integration and reliable performance. This app communicates with the system using REST API.

 

Conclusion

This project was complex and long-term, but our dedicated team continues to work with ByteEat, constantly improving and evolving the system. Yii, being an exceptionally optimized framework, ensures fast loading times and smooth performance.

Since the system was built in a modular fashion, customers can easily introduce new homepage themes without hassle. Additionally, with the script-based architecture, restaurants can launch a complete food ordering website within a day, offering a quick and efficient solution.
