Project Overview
Founded with a passion for convenience, TimePerks entered the U.S. food delivery market to provide a one-stop solution for time-starved consumers. The company set out to build a seamless platform where users could easily order meals from local restaurants—addressing the daily challenges of hectic work schedules, family responsibilities, and long drive-through lines. However, lacking internal technical expertise and facing a tight deadline, TimePerks partnered with LARION for expert development support. In just four months, LARION delivered a fully functional app with features designed for quick, efficient, and user-friendly meal ordering. The app was built using Ruby on Rails, HTML/CSS, HAML, Bootstrap, jQuery, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, with a dedicated team of seven experts.
Challenge: Limited Technical Resources
TimePerks envisioned creating a seamless and efficient food delivery experience for busy consumers, offering them a quick solution to avoid long drive-through lines and time-consuming meal prep. The app needed to be intuitive and user-friendly, enabling customers to browse menus, select items, and place orders in under 15 seconds.
However, facing an internal skills gap required to develop a scalable and user-friendly application, the company sought a reliable technology partner. After evaluating several vendors, TimePerks chose LARION for its deep technical expertise and a strong track record of delivering high-quality digital solutions under tight deadlines
Solution: High-Performance Food App Build
The project implementation followed a Scrum process under a Time & Materials (T&M) model to ensure flexibility, transparency, and continuous progress. Daily stand-ups, weekly reports, and sprint reviews were conducted to maintain alignment with project goals. A cross-functional team—comprising developers, a Scrum Master, a solution architect, and QC engineers—collaborated closely throughout the development cycle.
The solution was built using a robust tech stack, including Ruby on Rails, HTML/CSS, HAML, Bootstrap, jQuery, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB, ensuring scalability, responsiveness, and strong performance across devices.
Key capabilities of the solution included:
- Real-time order tracking: Users receive live updates on order status, from preparation to delivery.
- Partner dashboards: Restaurants can manage promotions, view analytics, and update menus through a user-friendly dashboard.
- Advanced search & customization: Customers can search by cuisine, dish, or restaurant and customize their orders with ease.
- Promo & loyalty integration: Support for discount codes, loyalty programs, and customer feedback features helped enhance retention.
Result: Successful Launch and Strong Market Presence
In just 4 months, the team successfully delivered the food delivery application, allowing the company to quickly capture market interest. The app’s seamless workflow and convenience attracted a wider customer base, leading to numerous partnerships with restaurants across the U.S. TimePerks also gained substantial investment funding and established a strong competitive edge in the food delivery market. The combination of LARION’s technical expertise and commitment to quality helped TimePerks meet all its objectives, positioning it for long-term success.
I’m absolutely impressed by LARION excellent technical skills and exceptionally high level of commitment to the overall quality of the project
