Challenges

1. Location Restriction

Creating a precise Geo boundary so that a person can't order outside the restaurant after scanning. If the user gets out of this boundary after placing the order, then the order will get canceled on its own, and the restaurant will get the notification that the user has left.

2. Multilanguage Database Management

The full app needs to be multilanguage, texts, buttons, etc. We used the built-in localization feature. For the stuff stored inside the database, however, we needed a little concept. Our database design and our application needed some functionality to add new languages and set up everything correctly.

Our Solutions

Multilanguage Database design depends on needs and favors. We went with the approach of creating a separate table for the translations of a relation. Usually, we give these tables the same name as the reference table and suffix them with _trans.

We also defined the boundary restriction to the project with precise measurements according to the connectivity to eradicate the issue of ordering outside the restaurant.

This project was different and had many challenges in the workflow; we figured out the process flow and optimized it as per the client requirements. Besides, we also proposed the solution to have a different waiter app for the restaurants to manage the flow smoothly and efficiently.
