From the App Store
The brief
The client wanted a dining app built around NFC technology. Tap a table tag, and the menu, ordering, service requests and payment are all in the diner's hand, with no waiting for staff at any step of the meal.
Our approach
We owned the iOS app end to end, from development and payments integration through to App Store releases, working directly against the client's requirements over roughly a year and a half. NFC table tags sit at the centre of the experience.
What we built
A native app that covers a whole meal: tap the table tag to open the menu and order, send requests to the server, then settle the bill, add a tip and split it between friends. Around that core sit restaurant discovery, table reservations, reviews and offers.
