  • Ability to design and implement features that work effectively even with limited or no internet connectivity, ensuring restaurant staff can manage orders in areas with unreliable internet access.
  • Adherence to industry-standard secure coding practices to safeguard sensitive information handled by the app, including restaurant orders, customer data, and payment details.
