In addition to facilitating digital food orders, they also aspire to offer a comprehensive collection of food recipes while upholding consistent brand identity across all their physical outlets.
Challenges
The client aims to develop an e-commerce platform to streamline online food orders for consumers. However, the challenge extends beyond the creation of the online store.
