NextFood – Revolutionizing the Review Aggregator Platform

Executive Summary:

This case study focuses on NextFood, an innovative review aggregator platform developed by our team. NextFood enables users to access comprehensive reviews of restaurants, cafes, and bars, allowing them to make informed decisions based on the experiences and recommendations of others. By creating a sleek and straightforward design, convenient search filters, and an easily operated admin panel, NextFood has successfully transformed the way people discover and evaluate food establishments.

Client’s Demand:

The client approached us with a unique requirement to develop a review aggregator platform for restaurants, cafes, and bars. They wanted to provide users with a platform where they could access detailed reviews, check the reputation of various food outlets, and gather information about amenities, working hours, and realistic photos shared by customers.

Shaping up the Idea:

We began the custom web app development by focusing on creating a minimum viable product with a sleek and straightforward design. Our UI design prioritized ease of use, allowing users to leverage the platform’s functionality and features conveniently. We developed a user interface where users could search for results based on parameters such as restaurant, dish name, food type, and city. Upon making a search, a pop-up appeared, and the search results were displayed alongside the search.

Convenient Search Filters:

To simplify user journeys and provide an enjoyable experience, we implemented intelligent search filters. These filters streamlined the user experience, allowing users to navigate through results and find what they were looking for quickly. The search results included reviews from platforms like Yelp, Facebook, Google, and the platform itself, providing a comprehensive view. Realistic photos of the interior and exterior of restaurants, shared by reviewers, enhanced the user’s understanding of a place. The resultant view also listed cuisine names, related dishes, locations, opening and closing times, and other essential information.

Easily Operated Admin Panel:

We developed an easy-to-use admin panel to facilitate database management. The admin panel provided a visually organized dashboard, allowing administrators to view user accounts, manage customer accounts, access complete user profile details and reviews, and update CMS pages such as terms and conditions, FAQs, privacy policy, and contact details.

Easy Search Made Easier:

To further enhance the search experience, our developers implemented tags for more accurate results. Users could apply tags based on outlet category, features, preferred neighborhood, and desired distance from their location. We also incorporated an authentication system to verify the identity of reviewers and utilized Yelp’s backend APIs for restaurant listings.
