From a Figma file to both app stores in 11 weeks.

QuickBite is a food delivery platform. SpikeSecure built the customer app, restaurant console and rider app with automated dispatch, live order tracking and cash-on-delivery reconciliation, and shipped to the App Store and Play Store in 11 weeks, on budget, with every weekly demo on time.

Summary

The project in brief.

QuickBite came to SpikeSecure with designs in Figma and a launch date. The platform needed three surfaces, a customer app, a restaurant console and a rider app, plus the dispatch, tracking and payment plumbing between them. SpikeSecure built and shipped all of it to the App Store and Play Store in 11 weeks. The co-founder's words: on budget, every weekly demo on time, which she calls the rarest thing in agency work.

The problem

What the client needed to change.

The founders had validated demand and completed design, but had no engineering team and a fixed launch window. The risk was not the concept; it was execution: dispatch logic that assigns the right rider, live tracking that does not drain phones, cash-on-delivery that reconciles at the end of the day, and store approvals on both platforms without delay.

The objectives were: ship customer, restaurant and rider apps to both stores within the launch window; automated dispatch with manual override; live tracking for customers and operations; and cash-on-delivery reconciliation that operations could trust.

What we built

Scope and modules delivered.

01

Customer app

Restaurant discovery, menus, cart and checkout, online payment and cash on delivery, live order tracking and order history.

02

Restaurant console

Order acceptance, preparation status, menu and availability management and daily settlement views.

03

Rider app

Order assignment, navigation, pickup and delivery confirmation, cash collection logging and earnings.

04

Dispatch engine

Automated rider allocation based on distance and availability, with operations override and re-assignment.

05

Live tracking

Location updates from rider to customer and operations, tuned to balance freshness against battery use.

06

COD reconciliation

Cash collected per rider per day matched against orders, with settlement reports for operations and restaurants.

UX and UI approach

Designed for the people who use it every day.

The Figma designs were preserved and refined for the three audiences: customers who want speed and clarity, restaurant staff working a busy counter on a tablet, and riders using one hand on a moving bike. Rider screens use large tap targets, minimal text and confirmation steps that survive poor connectivity. The team demonstrated a working build every week, which kept the launch date real rather than aspirational.

Architecture and integrations

How it is put together.

  • Apps: customer, restaurant and rider apps built for Android and iOS from a shared codebase and submitted to both stores.
  • Backend: a single API and admin serving all three apps, with the dispatch engine, order state machine and settlement logic in one place.
  • Tracking: rider location streaming to customers and operations with throttling for battery life.
  • Payments: online payment gateway plus cash on delivery as a first-class flow with end-of-day reconciliation.
  • Ownership: code, cloud and store accounts in the client's name.

The same platform pattern is described, with price ranges, on the food delivery app development page.

Outcome

The result, in the client's words.

“Our app went from a Figma file to live on the App Store and Play Store in 11 weeks. The build was on-budget, every weekly demo was on time. That's the rarest thing in agency work.”

FAQ

Questions about this project.

How did you ship three apps in 11 weeks?

Designs were complete at the start, the scope was fixed in writing, one backend served all three apps, and a working build was demonstrated every week so decisions were made early rather than at the end.

How does dispatch work?

The engine assigns orders to riders by distance and availability automatically, with operations able to override and re-assign. Rules are configurable as the fleet grows.

How is cash on delivery reconciled?

Riders log cash collected per order; the system matches it against orders per rider per day and produces settlement reports for operations and restaurants.

What does a food delivery app like this cost?

Single-restaurant apps cost ₹4–8 lakh at SpikeSecure, multi-restaurant platforms ₹8–18 lakh and aggregator-scale platforms ₹18–30 lakh or more; timelines are 10–16 weeks.
