What difference do they make? Well, RAD is a unique meal order app that focuses on soothing the sudden food cravings of the users. RAD stands for Rural Area Delivery. The app is meant for Canadian users. Know more about this food delivery app portfolio in this article.
How Did the Client Approach Us?
Michelle Holmes, a Canadian-based entrepreneur reached out to us with a vague idea of starting RAD food delivery services business. But she and her team didn’t know where to start. However, a series of consultation calls with our team helped them design a straight path toward launching their food delivery application
What is the Platform All About?
Starting a food delivery application in Canada is a great business idea. However, scaling this among the existing fiery competition was only possible with these USPs.
After detailed R&D, the client discovered that online food delivery to rural areas is an untapped service segment. This ‘Eureka moment!’ itself helped them formulate the USP. They aimed to reach the remote locations that existing competitor delivery partners could only go now. Hence, by tapping this accessibility pain point of consumers, RAD fixated on following the platform-to-consumer delivery model.
Money is of utmost importance. Therefore, as a revenue strategy, they wanted us to integrate the delivery fee module of a fixed amount every 3 kilometers.
The client also wanted us to simplify the backend process of featuring the bestselling items on the platform. This further helps the registered store owners to select display items. This led us to decide the number of parties involved and the panels we would require for all these users.
Outcomes of Our Multi-Party Platform Approach with Features
We tried a multi-platform approach to fulfill the app’s requirements. After numerous brainstorming sessions, we revealed to the client that this app could be successful with these panels – an Admin web panel, Vendor web and tablet panel, Delivery personnel’s app, and a consumer website and app.
Here are the food delivery app features of all the RAD user platforms
Panel 1 – Admin Panel (Web)
Panel 2 – Consumer/End user (Website/Application Android + iOS)
Panel 3 – Restaurant Owner or Vendor App (Web + Tablet)
Panel 4 – Delivery Partner (app)

Extra Chunk of Efforts in Developing App for Food Delivery to Rural Areas
Besides delivering what is mentioned in the project’s scope, our mobile app development services involve a holistic approach. Our team ensured to provide the client with everything that made this meal delivery app as perfect as it can be!
Delivery Module – On placing the order, the algorithm should automatically send notifications to nearby drivers one by one to schedule the pickup of the food parcel and deliver it to the customer.
Tips Management – The usual tipping to delivery personnel has a new addition. Users using the RAD food delivery app can also give tips to store vendors. This can be a fixed amount or even a percentage of the total order amount.
Payout – We automated the weekly payout system rather than keeping it manual.
Availability Status – Not only the delivery personnel but also store vendors can set their status to either 24 hour open or full-day closed. They may also customize a time slot that can reflect immediately.
Navigation – Our developers used the Socket IO to integrate live tracking of delivery persons & chat between customers & assigned delivery persons.
Support – We simplified the complaint submission process as it is vital for users to communicate their grievances and problems to the restaurants. Both vendors and admin can see this feedback from consumers.

Challenges & Solutions
01 The client needed clarification about the payouts for the restaurant & delivery persons. They wanted to keep this weekly payout manual, which would lead to redundant work.
Solution – We gave two ways of payment to the client with proper flow & functionality. She chose one way, and we implemented the way she was expecting.
The first way – The restaurant can send a request to the admin for payout at any time After approval of the admin, the restaurant will get the amount in his bank account.
The second way – The restaurant & delivery person will get a payout weekly automatically.
02 After completing the website, the client requested a restaurant application. The timeline was very tight.
Solution – We created a cross-platform Flutter application (instead of native apps) to save time & deliver the final product on time.
