AMMI’S BIRYANI
Ammi’s Biryani is a food chain with outlets across India. They needed a Mobile Application to reduce the call center load and to allow users could order food more conveniently and with a shorter response time. Navyug designed the Application Architecture and developed the entire application.
Client: TMA Hospitality Services Pvt. Ltd.
Project: Mobile App for Ordering Biryani Online
CHALLENGES
- The Client requirement was to develop a mobile application that ‘talked’ to their back-end and provided a uniform user experience across different mobile platforms (Android, iOS, and Windows).
- The need was for a pleasant and ‘easy to use’ user interface for ordering food which did not require an interaction with the call center at any point.
- The client required the users to have the ability to search for and apply discounts to orders on the application itself.
PROCESS FOLLOWED
- Visits and interaction with staff and business owners.
- Balsamiq mockups of the solution.
- Poker Planning, Agile methodology with daily standups, sprints and retrospectives.
- Test Driven Development.
- Code and Progress of work shared with Client on Git and Trac.
- Daily 15 min interaction with client during stand-up, to ensure maximum communication and quick reactions.
FEATURES
- Provide Users the ability to easily order food, select and apply discounts and pay for their orders online
