Introduction: A Gastronomic Revolution at Work!
When Echo, a forward-thinking Chicago-based company, dreamt of bringing local culinary delights to workplaces, they needed a tech partner that could turn their ambitious vision into reality. They found that in Povio. Together, we crafted Fooda, an app that is reinventing workplace food programs by connecting employees, companies, and the best local restaurants across the United States!
The Challenge: A Culinary Conundrum
Imagine creating an all-in-one mobile solution that would have to manage invoices, process payments, work offline, and do this for top-tier companies. This wasn't just about building an app; it was about revolutionizing how employees experience meals at work. The point-of-sale (POS) system we had to develop was a colossal challenge, requiring exceptional engineering skills.
The Solution: A Fully-Integrated Feast
Povio created a robust point-of-sale system for Fooda that comprises two powerful, native iOS and Android apps, supported by a robust Ruby on Rails backend.
For the food-loving employee, the app is a treasure trove of great menus and the convenience of ordering and tracking meals.
For the restaurant or food vendor, it's a control center for managing orders and collecting payments with ease.
Fooda Pop-ups: Making Every Day a Food Festival!
Povio helped take Fooda to new heights by supporting Fooda Pop-ups with fully-integrated technology. These are exclusive events where your office becomes a food festival with popular local restaurants serving their specialties. Not only does this bring variety and joy to the employees’ meals, but it fosters camaraderie and collaboration among teams.
Tech Talk: The Ingredients Behind Fooda
At Povio, we love nerding out on the latest tech and best practices in design
and engineering. Our team’s agile approach created a flexible and reliable
