Real-time order tracking allowed users to receive timely updates on the status of their orders, ensuring a smooth and transparent delivery process from order confirmation to arrival at the door.
The platform optimized for mobile devices to provide a smooth and responsive browsing experience on smartphones, ensuring that users could easily browse menus and place orders on the go.
