An all-in-one mobile solution created for a fast-casual food chain that wanted to modernize how it handles orders both online and in-store. Whether it’s a customer placing an order through the app, a waiter entering it on-site, a chef updating its status in the kitchen, or a delivery driver marking it complete—FLYBITES keeps the entire order process flowing smoothly from start to finish. It’s built to support Android and iOS users, staff terminals, and kitchen workflows, delivering a seamless experience across the board.
