Commission lost to delivery apps

100%

Customer relationship owned

2-tap

From cart to Mobile Money or WhatsApp

  1. Challenge

    Local restaurants lose a big cut of every sale to delivery apps and have no direct line to their customers.

  2. Approach

    We mapped a restaurant's real ordering flow, then built the lightest possible path from "hungry" to "order placed" — no app download, no commission, no friction.

  3. Result

    A branded ordering site the restaurant fully owns — customers browse the menu, build a cart, and check out via Mobile Money or send the order straight to WhatsApp.

What we built

  • Mobile-first menu with photos, categories and prices
  • Add-to-cart that stays smooth on low-end phones
  • Checkout via Mobile Money or one-tap send-to-WhatsApp
  • Simple admin to manage the menu and see orders

The idea. Many restaurants in Kampala rely on third-party delivery apps that take 15–30% of every order and keep the customer relationship. QuickBite shows how a restaurant can take orders directly instead.

What we built (as a demo).

  • A fast, mobile-first menu with categories, photos and prices
  • An add-to-cart flow that works smoothly on low-end phones
  • Checkout by Mobile Money or one-tap send-to-WhatsApp
  • A simple admin view to manage the menu and see orders

Why it matters. The restaurant keeps 100% of the sale, owns its customer data, and can run its own offers — all from a site that costs a fraction of the commissions it replaces.

This is a sample build created by Cranix to demonstrate our approach. We’d love to build the real thing for your business.
