The Challenge

Domino’s Pizza faced several significant challenges in developing a mobile delivery app for the Middle Eastern market:

User Interface Design

Implementing and constructing a delivery application with a smooth, user-friendly interface was crucial for success. Since customers include individuals from the Middle East region with varying technical skills, the design needed to be flexible, simple, beautiful, and navigable for placing orders.

Real-Time Order Tracking

Customers wanted to monitor their orders from preparation to delivery. This required integrating tracking functionalities to provide real-time information on order status and location.

Payment Gateway Integration

The app needed to work with multiple payment gateways across different countries, each with its own processing methods and security requirements. Ensuring transaction safety was paramount.

Localization

The app needed to incorporate language, culture, and legal requirements specific to each targeted country in the Middle East to remain relevant to local consumers and meet regional legal requirements.

Scalability and Performance

The app needed to handle varying traffic loads, especially during peak hours and promotional campaigns, while maintaining high performance across different markets.
