Food Delivery Mobile Application
Customer, driver, and admin apps with live tracking and integrated payments
Reduced order processing time by 68%
Increased customer retention by 36%
Improved delivery efficiency by 49%
Overview
Food delivery is one of the most operationally demanding app categories to build correctly — it requires three separate user experiences (customer, driver, admin) that must communicate in real time, a live tracking engine, payment processing, and enough reliability that it works correctly under the pressure of dinner rush. We built all three applications on Flutter, sharing business logic across platforms while delivering native performance on both iOS and Android.
The Challenge
A local delivery business required a complete mobile ecosystem — customer app, driver app, and admin panel — with live tracking, online payments, and real-time order management.
The Solution
Developed customer, delivery partner, and admin applications with live GPS tracking, integrated online payments, promo management, order history, and ratings.
How We Approached It
Three-App Architecture
Designed a shared Flutter codebase with three separate app targets — customer, driver, admin — to maximise code reuse while keeping each UX distinct.
Real-Time Engine
Built a WebSocket-based real-time engine so order status changes propagate instantly to customer, driver, and admin views.
Mapping & Navigation
Integrated Google Maps for customer tracking and turn-by-turn driver navigation with route optimisation.
Payment Integration
Implemented Stripe with card storage, digital wallets, and automatic payout splits between the business and drivers.
