Business#grpartners: new Android application for Bistro printer
Bistro.sk has been the most successful player among platforms focused on food delivery in Slovakia. Now, it currently provides online food delivery from more than 1,800 restaurants with more than 540,000 satisfied customers throughout Slovakia.
Bistro is our long-term partner with whom we have been cooperating on the development of mobile applications for Android and iOS platforms from the very beginning. These apps are a success among many hungry users, as evidenced by ratings above 4.7 * out of 5 * on Google Play as well as the App Store.
Bistro.sk is growing steadily and quickly not only thanks to the agile development of our team, but also thanks to the innovative background it provides to restaurants. The background also includes a Bistro printer, for which our Android team created an application.
Android app for order management
The task of our team was to analyze and select suitable equipment based on the technical specification and use case of our client, followed the development of an Android application for selected devices. The application comprehensively solves the management and changes of order statuses as well as the management of the restaurant itself. These changes are made based on the device's communication with the client's backend. In addition to the implementation of the solution, we were also involved in the creation of a design proposal, in which we tried to make it as easy as possible for users to use the application due to device limitations.
Technologies used:
- Android Jetpack
- Thermal printing
- Kiosk mode
- Coroutines, Flow
- Firebase performance
- Kotlin
Bistro.sk has been a part of the global company Just Eat Takeaway.com since 15th July. Congratulations to Ringier Axel Springier and we believe that the Bistro printer application will help further growth and ensure customer and restaurant satisfaction.
