You want to get a mobile app developed to take orders for your restaurant. But you don't know what technology to go with, where to find the right developer or a company who doesn't charge you like anything just because you don't know anything about mobile app building process. Well, we would like to give an idea about what all is needed to get a basic app ready.

First of all, if you are looking for an Android app developed, you need to purchase an account on Google Play store. This is one time payment. For an iPhone app, you need to purchase an account on iTunes and this purchase has to be renewed every year.

There are 2 sections in a Mobile app i.e. the Front-end UI and the Back-end Section. The Front-end UI is what you see, the look and feel of the app, the buttons, links, text etc. that a mobile app developer builds. The Back-end is the data that you want to store or fetch from within the app. Technically, the Back-end work in a Mobile App is called as an API. So, there are separate developers for the Front-end and the Back-end section. And, you need to pay for both the developers if your Mobile app has some data to store and fetch. For example; for a restaurant app, the menu, the items, the customer orders are all a part of data to maintain and is managed by the Back-end developer.

If you want to get both the Android and iPhone app developed for your business, we suggest you to go with a Hybrid technology like React Native or Flutter. By using just one technology, both the Android and iPhone apps can be developed. This way, you don't have to hire separate programmers of Android and iOS. You will have to hire just one Mobile app developer and a Back-end developer.

If you want to take payments online, you need to get a payment gateway for your app. There are some common payment gateways like Razorpay which supports different Banks, UPI payments, Credit and Debit Card Payments and Netbanking. You can search for different payment gateways and could select the one that best suits you.
