FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. We typically ship core customer ordering first, then roll out driver dispatch and ops dashboards in phases to reduce risk.

Yes. We can build vendor onboarding, menus, availability, commissions, and admin tooling with clear roles and operational reporting.

We design event flows for reliability: idempotent status updates, retries, and clear fallbacks so the system behaves predictably under load.

Most MVPs land in 8–12 weeks depending on dispatch complexity and integrations. We can phase delivery to launch faster.

Regional

Delivery considerations for your region

Compliance & Data (EU)

For Germany/EU delivery, we keep GDPR-first patterns: data minimisation, purpose-limited storage, and explicit access boundaries.

We can work under a DPA (template available on request) and implement pragmatic retention/deletion flows when needed.

  • GDPR-first architecture patterns (generic, no legal claims)
  • DPA template available on request
  • Retention/deletion and export flows where required
  • Least-privilege access and safe logging defaults
  • Documented data flows and access boundaries

Timezone & Collaboration (EU)

We align to EU working hours with CET-friendly collaboration windows and async progress updates.

We keep delivery predictable: weekly milestones, documented decisions, and clear scope control.

  • EU overlap with CET-friendly windows
  • Async-first delivery with written decisions
  • Weekly milestone demos and progress checkpoints
  • Clear change control to avoid surprises
  • Escalation path for blockers and risks

Engagement & Procurement (EU)

We support procurement-friendly engagements with clear scopes, milestone plans, and documentation that stakeholders can review.

For EU teams, we can structure invoices and milestones for EUR-based engagements where appropriate.

  • EUR-based engagements and invoicing options
  • Discovery-first option to reduce delivery risk
  • Milestone-based billing and scope sign-offs
  • Vendor onboarding documentation on request
  • Transparent change control and approvals

Security & Quality (EU)

We prioritise reliability: reviewable PRs, predictable releases, and tests that protect critical paths.

Performance budgets and clear release discipline keep the product stable as it grows.

  • CI-friendly testing: unit + integration + smoke tests
  • Performance budgets + bundle checks
  • Release checklist + rollback-safe deployments
  • Security checklist for auth and sensitive data flows
  • Observability hooks (logs + error tracking) ready for production
