THE CLIENT

Hungry Jack's needed one team across its restaurant technology and operations.

Hungry Jack's needed one engineering function to retain context across customer experience, restaurant data and the quality of its digital platforms.

Softobiz worked across four connected programmes: AI ordering integration, loyalty, data and quality engineering. The AI ordering story is covered separately because Hi Auto provides the assistant technology.

THE CHALLENGE

What stood in the way.

CHALLENGE 01

Connected customer journeys

Ordering and loyalty experiences needed to work across the systems behind each customer interaction.

CHALLENGE 02

Restaurant data

Operational information needed to be available to the teams responsible for restaurant decisions.

CHALLENGE 03

Loyalty experience

The mobile experience needed to support ongoing loyalty and customer engagement work.

CHALLENGE 04

Mobile quality

Application launch and menu loading needed measurable improvement across iOS and Android.

WHAT WE BUILT

The solution, piece by piece.

02

Loyalty engineering

Customer engagement and mobile loyalty work formed one connected programme within the embedded delivery function.

03

Data engineering

Restaurant data work supported the operational information needed across the programme.

04

Quality engineering

Mobile quality work focused on application launch and menu-loading performance, with before-and-after measures shown below.

MOBILE EXPERIENCE PERFORMANCE

Less waiting between opening the app and seeing the menu.

The mobile optimisation work improved the two moments customers feel first: application launch and menu loading, across both iOS and Android.

61%

Faster iOS app launch

Launch time reduced from 4–5 seconds to under 2 seconds.

61%

Menu loading reduced from 6–7 seconds to under 3 seconds.

60%

Faster Android app launch

Launch time reduced from over 10 seconds to under 4 seconds.

59%

Faster Android menu loading

Menu loading reduced from over 10 seconds to under 4 seconds.
