Underscope

Underscope was hired by a fast-casual restaurant chain to develop a custom web and mobile ordering platform. The restaurant chain decided to build a custom platform rather than using off-the-shelf products, and Underscope was brought on board to assist with the development process. They initially served as consultants, helping to train the restaurant's team on React and React Native, and later joined the team to help build the ordering app. They also provided guidance on whether to use MobX or Redux, and made suggestions on how to simplify the development experience. Since the initial development, they have made a number of updates, such as adding features like company accounts, Apple Pay, and program promos, and have plans for more updates in the future.

The restaurant chain selected Underscope based on their expertise, willingness to work with an existing team, location, price point, and the comfort level of their development team. The restaurant chain appreciated that Underscope was easy to work with and open to exploring different ideas. They also appreciated Underscope's feedback on their initial decision to use MobX for the app development. The restaurant chain initially paid $20,000-$25,000 per month for Underscope's services, which at one point increased to $30,000 per month. The engagement began in October 2018 and is ongoing.
