Menu discovery, restaurant locator, combo promotions and loyalty — built across Web, iOS and Android for diners across the UAE and Qatar.
What we can verify about this engagement — no estimated or invented figures.
One Node.js and MongoDB platform powers every client — nothing is duplicated per platform.
The platform serves diners across both the UAE and Qatar from a single codebase and backend.
A React/Vue.js web app plus fully native Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) apps.
Menu discovery, restaurant locator, combo promotions and loyalty campaigns.
Nando's is a global PERi-PERi chicken restaurant brand — this engagement covered its UAE and Qatar operations specifically.
Apptechies built the ordering, restaurant-locator, promotions and loyalty experience used by diners across both markets, spanning a React and Vue.js web app plus native Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) apps, backed by a Node.js and MongoDB platform on AWS.
Nando's needed one consistent ordering, loyalty and locator experience across two markets and three platforms — without the brand experience fragmenting depending on where or how a customer opened the app.
A single Node.js and MongoDB platform became the source of truth for menu, location, promotion and loyalty data — consumed identically by web, iOS and Android.
Swift and Kotlin were used for the mobile apps specifically so location services, notifications and everyday interactions feel native on each platform.
Restaurant discovery and menu browsing were kept to as few steps as possible — that is the first thing a hungry customer does.
Combo promotions and loyalty campaigns were treated as first-class parts of the ordering journey, not a bolted-on rewards tab.
Four core journeys, one consistent platform across web, iOS and Android.
Browsing the current menu, categories and combo deals for the nearest restaurant.
Finding the closest Nando's location across the UAE and Qatar in a few taps.
Surfacing active combo deals and promotions relevant to each diner.
Tracking and redeeming loyalty rewards as part of the ordering flow, not a separate app.
Explore the interactive digital ordering, restaurant locator and menu experience built for Nando's.
A visual, category-first browsing flow designed for high speed — diners can effortlessly navigate Snackettes, Quickies, Healthy(ish), Hearty platters and sides with rich imagery.
Every session starts by narrowing to the nearest restaurant, so the menu and promotions shown are always relevant to that location.
Web, iOS and Android share the same visual language and interaction patterns, even though the underlying code is written independently for each.
Loyalty points and combo deals are surfaced during ordering itself, rather than requiring a trip to a separate rewards screen.
A representative view of how the pieces fit together across Web, iOS, Android, and Cloud.
Web app (React, Vue.js), a native iOS app (Swift) and a native Android app (Kotlin).
A Node.js backend service exposing menu, locator, promotions and loyalty data through shared contracts.
MongoDB storing menu, restaurant location, promotion and loyalty-account data for both markets.
Powers key parts of the customer-facing web experience with a fast, component-driven interface.
Used alongside React across the web layer for building and maintaining UI at pace.
Native iOS development for a fast, platform-native experience on iPhone.
Native Android development for a fast, platform-native experience on Android.
A single backend service layer serving menu, locator, promotions and loyalty data consistently to every platform.
Flexible document storage suited to menu, promotion and location data that varies by restaurant and market.
Cloud infrastructure sized to handle traffic across both the UAE and Qatar markets.
The backend was built to serve both the UAE and Qatar from one consistent platform, keeping menu and promotion data in sync across markets.
Web, iOS and Android all draw from the same backend, so a menu or promotion change appears everywhere at once.
Encryption in transit, scoped access control and independent code review are baseline practice on every engagement — no specific third-party compliance certification for this engagement is publicly documented, so we're not claiming one.
Our standard 7-phase delivery framework, applied to this engagement.
Mapping the real customer journey — find a restaurant, browse the menu, order, redeem rewards.
Designing one backend contract that web, iOS and Android could all build against independently.
Keeping menu, locator and loyalty flows consistent in language across three different platforms.
Building the web app, native iOS app and native Android app in parallel against shared backend contracts.
Testing ordering, locator and loyalty flows across both markets and all three platforms.
Rolling the platform out across the UAE and Qatar without disrupting an already-operating restaurant business.
Ongoing engineering support as menus, promotions and markets continue to evolve.
A menu update or new combo promotion needed to appear identically on web, iOS and Android at the same time, without one platform lagging behind.
A single Node.js backend became the only source of truth — every client reads from the same API, so there's no per-platform content drift.
Building fully native iOS and Android apps means writing platform-specific code twice, which risks the two apps drifting apart in behavior over time.
Core flows — locator, ordering, loyalty — were kept to the same information architecture on both platforms, even though the underlying Swift and Kotlin code is written independently for each.
The UAE and Qatar needed to be served from the same platform without treating either market as an afterthought.
Restaurant, menu and promotion data were modeled in MongoDB so each market's content is managed independently while running on shared infrastructure.
What this platform means for the business, in plain terms.
