iOS and Android apps users actually open more than once. Designed and shipped for restaurants, not generic templates with restaurants swapped in.
Most restaurants are operating on sites or software stacks built three to five years ago for a different version of the buyer. Third-party ordering apps take 18-30% per order and own the customer data, so there's no direct channel to fall back on. The infrastructure decisions that compound are the ones made with the operator in the room, not the ones made in a vacuum.
Inparlor's Mobile Application Development engagement for restaurants reflects that. We build production mobile apps in React Native plus Expo, with native modules where they matter. The deliverables below are scoped against the unit economics, per-order fee on third-party apps of 18-30%.
Where most agencies treat restaurants as another vertical to learn on, we treat the vertical as the starting point. Loyalty and reorder are locked inside a platform the operator can't customize or export from. We will tell you on the first call which of those constraints is binding and which is solvable inside the engagement.

Mobile Apps proposal turnaround
We have shipped to 5M+ US users on React Native. Performance is not the bottleneck for 90% of consumer apps, App Review and store optimization are.
BLE, ARKit, on-device ML, low-latency audio, yes. Pull-to-refresh, gradients, push, no. We tell you which bucket your features sit in during scoping.
We model your category's keywords, generate listing variants, and run A/B tests on the App Store and Play listing within the first month of launch, not after.
Copy and content changes ship the same day. Native binaries go through App Review every 3-6 weeks on a fixed cadence. Your team is never blocked on a hotfix.
