One Ordering App for Chamas Tacos & O'Cheese,From Menu to Doorstep.

Chamas Tacos & O'Cheese needed a production-ready way to take orders across their restaurants. ThoughtLabs designed and built an iOS and Android app for customers and drivers, a web dashboard for the restaurants and the backend that connects them.

About the project

Two Restaurant Brands, One Ordering Platform.

Chamas Tacos and O'Cheese are restaurant brands in Belgium, run as a group of branches. They needed a production-ready ordering app, central control over every branch, and a secure, compliant platform built for the Belgian market.

The project started as a minimum viable product built for a quick launch, with a modular design so later features can be added without a rebuild. One platform serves three groups: customers who order, drivers who deliver and the restaurant teams who run it all.

The challenge

Fast to Launch, Built for Belgium, Ready to Grow.

The app had to work for three very different users at once, meet Belgian expectations from day one, and still leave room for the features planned next.

  • One App, Two Platforms

    Ship a single product to iOS and Android without maintaining two codebases.

  • Several Branches, Two Brands

    Manage multiple restaurants and both brands from one central platform.

  • Belgian Payments

    Accept Bancontact, Payconiq and credit cards through PCI-DSS compliant processing.

  • Three Languages

    Offer the whole experience in French, Dutch and English.

  • Real-Time Deliveries

    Keep customers, kitchens and drivers in sync from the order to the doorstep.

  • Local Compliance

    Respect Belgian standards, including 6% VAT and allergen labelling.

Our approach

Clear Requirements, Short Sprints, a Supported Launch.

ThoughtLabs ran the project in phases, with weekly progress reports and a single point of contact on the client side for quick decisions.

Requirements

We detailed every feature with the client and mapped how the customer app, the driver mode, the restaurant dashboard and the backend would work together.

The product

One Platform, Three Ways In.

Customers order in the app and each restaurant runs its orders from a web dashboard. These are screens from the product; the dashboard is shown with sample orders.

Orders arrive live: staff accept, reject or mark them ready, with status, payment and items on one line.

The result

Ordering, Delivery and Management in One Place.

ThoughtLabs delivered one platform that takes an order from the customer's phone through the kitchen to the driver, across every branch.
