Food ordering app

Order in, with credits and rewards

Gogo Eat is a food-ordering mobile app that pairs a diner experience with a restaurant side. Diners discover nearby places, browse a menu, build a dish topping by topping, pay by card or in-app credits, and earn by referring a friend, all tracked to the door.

The premise

What is Gogo Eat?

Gogo Eat is a food-ordering app with two sides: a diner app for finding and ordering food, and a restaurant side that receives and fulfils those orders. This page walks the diner experience, screen by screen.

Everything a diner needs, from craving to doorstep

Everything a diner needs, from craving to doorstep

The app opens on nearby restaurants and last orders, so the next meal is a tap away. From there a diner browses a restaurant's menu and photos, customises a dish, and checks out with a card or a stored credit balance, then tracks the order to pickup or delivery.

Discovery starts on the home screenNearby restaurants and a repeat of the last order sit front and centre, with a map search for finding somewhere new.
Dishes are built, not just pickedA dish page carries extra toppings, a choice of base and a free-text special instruction, so an order matches exactly what the diner wants.
Pay by card or by creditsA stored credit balance can be spent at checkout alongside cards and an e-wallet, with every credit movement kept in a ledger.
The design problem

Why does a food-ordering app need more than a menu and a pay button?

The gap between a hungry diner and a placed order is full of small frictions. Three of them decide whether an app gets used twice: how fast something good is found, how precisely a dish can be ordered, and how flexibly it can be paid for.

FAQ

Building a food-ordering app

What restaurant and delivery brands ask us first, answered plainly.

Ask us yours
How long does it take to build a food-ordering app?

A two-sided app of this shape, a diner app plus a restaurant side, with customisation, an in-app credit wallet, referrals and order tracking, is a multi-month build rather than a few weeks. The biggest drivers are the payment methods and delivery logic in scope, and whether both sides ship at once. Shanti Infosoft scopes it on a short call and returns a fixed quote.

Can you add in-app credits or a wallet to my food app?

Yes. An in-app credit balance is a pattern we have designed and built here. To be trusted it needs a ledger with every credit and debit and a clear running total, and it has to settle cleanly against card and e-wallet payments at checkout. We can add it to a new app or an existing one.

Do you build both the customer and the restaurant side?

Yes. Gogo Eat pairs a diner app with a restaurant side that receives and fulfils orders. We design and build both, because the two only work when the order, menu and status model is shared between them rather than bolted together later.

Can it support dish customisation and special instructions?

Yes, and it should. A dish here carries extra toppings, a choice of base and a free-text special instruction, so a diner orders the specific thing they want and the kitchen gets it right the first time.

Does it work for iOS and Android?

Yes. We design once and build for both platforms, keeping the diner experience consistent across them. The same order and account model sits behind whichever phone a diner is holding.
