Tools Used in Project
Project Process & Challenge
The process of developing Durham Eateries involved intricate planning, design, and implementation phases, each presenting its unique set of challenges. Initially, integrating three different restaurant experiences into one cohesive app required meticulous attention to user interface design to ensure seamless navigation and a unified user experience. One of the major challenges faced was the integration of varied menu systems, booking options, and payment gateways for each restaurant, necessitating custom solutions to accommodate the distinct operational styles of Ceviche, Five Vines, and Hearth & Stone Bistro. Additionally, ensuring real-time updates and synchronization across the app to reflect accurate menu items, availability, and promotions was a technical hurdle. Balancing the aesthetic and functional elements of the app to meet the expectations of a diverse user base, while also maintaining high performance and security standards, required a flexible and innovative approach to app development. Despite these challenges, the project's success was achieved through rigorous testing, feedback loops with the restaurants, and a commitment to creating a user-friendly platform that enhances the dining experience.
