How long does it take to develop an iPhone app?

iPhone app development typically takes 3-6 months from concept to App Store launch. Simple apps can be completed in 2-3 months, while complex enterprise iOS applications may take 6-12 months. Our team of iOS developers in Canada follows an agile development process with regular milestones to deliver quality native apps on schedule.

Do you develop for iPad and Apple Watch?

Yes! We develop native iOS apps for the complete Apple ecosystem: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV. Our team has extensive experience with Swift, SwiftUI, and all iOS frameworks to build apps that work seamlessly across all Apple devices. We've built 274 apps leveraging the full iOS platform.

What's the difference between native iOS and cross-platform development?

Native iOS apps are built specifically for Apple devices using Swift or Objective-C, offering superior performance, full access to iOS features, and better user experience. Cross-platform apps use frameworks like React Native or Flutter to share code across iOS and Android, which can reduce costs but may compromise performance. We help you choose the right approach based on your app requirements, budget, and timeline.

Our clients benefit from transparent pricing, agile development process, and ongoing support after launch.

Custom Restaurant App Development

We build custom restaurant apps from scratch, fully tailored to your brand, your menu, and your unique ordering flow. Available on iOS, Android, and web.

Table Ordering and Payment Apps

Mobile apps that let your customers order and pay directly from their table using their smartphone. This reduces wait times, minimizes order errors, and improves table turnover. We seamlessly integrate with any existing POS system, including Lightspeed, Maitre D, Veloce, Clover, Square, and Shopify. Orders flow directly into your current POS in real time with full synchronization.

Online Ordering and Delivery Apps

Custom apps that let customers place orders for home delivery directly from your brand. Features include menu browsing with photos, cart management, real-time delivery tracking, estimated arrival times, and secure payments. All orders sync automatically with your existing POS system.

Restaurant Discovery and Review Apps

Apps that help users discover restaurants, browse detailed menus, read reviews, and find new dishes using geolocation, ratings, and search filters.

Restaurant Management Dashboard

A dedicated web and mobile dashboard for your team. Menu builder, order management, customer data, revenue analytics. Everything your restaurant needs in one place.

Food Ordering and Pickup Apps

Let customers browse your menu, place orders ahead of time, and schedule a pickup time that fits their schedule. Reduces wait times at the counter, minimizes errors, and keeps your kitchen flow predictable. Seamless payment integration and real-time status updates included.

Loyalty Programs and Multi-Location Management

Reward your regulars and manage all your locations from one platform. We build custom loyalty programs with points, rewards, and member offers, fully integrated into your ordering app. For restaurant groups and franchises, our multi-location architecture lets you manage menus, pricing, and reporting across every establishment from a single dashboard.

Native iOS and Android Development

Our iOS app development and Android app development teams use Swift and Kotlin to deliver the best performance and security. Native development is our default for restaurant applications.

Kotlin Multiplatform

Share core business logic across iOS and Android while keeping native UI on each platform. Faster development time, easier to maintain as your app scales.

POS and Payment Integration

Most restaurants already run on a POS system. We build around it, not against it.

Our integration layer connects your restaurant app directly to your existing setup, whether that's Lightspeed, Maitre D, Veloce, Clover, Square, or Shopify. Orders, inventory updates, and reporting flow in both directions, in real time, without manual entry or duplicate workflows.

No migration. No disruption. Your team keeps working the way they already do.

Cloud Platforms

AWS or Google Cloud backends built to scale with your business.

Real-Time Updates

Push notifications and real-time order updates keep customers and restaurant staff informed at every step.

14 Years Building Mobile Applications

Since 2011, our team has shipped mobile apps across dozens of industries. That experience translates into fewer surprises, faster technical decisions, and higher quality code on your restaurant app project.

Real Restaurant App Experience

OnPlate, Elovore, FoodHero. Real restaurant and food ordering apps shipped, with real users. Experience that benefits your project directly.

Deep Canadian Market Knowledge

Based in Montreal and Toronto, we understand Canadian payment standards, user expectations, and the local restaurant industry.

End-to-End Development Team

Design, development, QA, and ongoing support. One team handles your entire restaurant app project.

How long does it take to develop a restaurant app?

Timeline depends on the scope and complexity of your project. A simple ordering app with core features requires less time than a full platform with loyalty programs, POS integration, and multi-location support. We define a realistic timeline during the discovery phase once we understand your specific requirements.

What does restaurant app development cost?

Cost depends on features, platforms, and integrations. Every restaurant app project is different. We provide a detailed estimate after the discovery phase, once we understand your business model and technical requirements. No ballpark figures that turn out to be wrong later.

Should I build for iOS, Android, or both?

For the Canadian market, we recommend both platforms. Kotlin Multiplatform lets us share code across iOS and Android, reducing development time and cost compared to building two separate apps.

Do you provide ongoing support after your restaurant app launches?

Yes. We offer post-launch maintenance and support packages for all restaurant apps we build. As your user base grows and your business evolves, our team is available to add features, resolve issues, and keep your restaurant app running at full performance.
