A demonstration. Café Edough is a fictional chain built by Algeria Agency: the cafés, the prices, the orders and the bookings do not exist.

Café Edough · Annaba

A coffee chain’s application

Take the phone. Order with no account and pay cash: the stamp lands anyway. Then switch to the counter till and watch the ticket arrive.

Do you actually need an app?

Our own service page asks that before it sells the answer, and it accepts only three reasons. This café meets all three — which is why it is here rather than some other trade.

Repeated use
Coffee is a daily habit. The home screen changes between morning and afternoon because the same person opens it twice.
Phone hardware
The camera is the product: a QR on the table opens a session, a QR at the counter lands the stamp on an order paid in cash. Location picks the nearest house.
Work that continues without a network
The Seraïdi house is up the massif. The menu is cached, the order joins a queue, the queue drains when the signal returns. Cut the network above: nothing in the application changes.

What the application will not do

  • It credits nothing before the counter. The stamp and the wallet debit are written when the order is ready — a cancelled order leaves nothing behind it.
  • It requires neither a card nor an account. The whole menu, the whole order and the loyalty work in cash, with no signup.
  • It shows the rounding. Prices land on 5 DA; when a split or a discount does not, the difference is its own line.
  • It keeps no addresses. A delivery is a pin and a landmark, written for that order alone.

One codebase, two platforms

Switch platform above. The screens do not move: what changes is the status bar, the back affordance, a sheet against a dialog, the home indicator and the type. An application painted twice would be the opposite argument.

The weight, measured

Install size is a design constraint rather than an end-of-project optimisation. This figure is taken at build time, not typed by hand.

This is the weight of the demonstration page, not of an install file. The ten demonstrations share one route, so all three pages weigh the same: the figure belongs to the route rather than to this café.

What the real build covers and the demonstration names without building

Twelve real screens beat thirty half-made ones. Here is what is missing here and included in the delivered project.

Group ordering by shared link · Gift cards and sending a coffee · Scheduled recurring orders · Rider tracking · Rate-limited notifications · Bean origins and brew guides · Integration with the existing till · A promotion builder by house and time slot · Tracking orders never collected · Analytics beyond today’s mix

Nothing you order here is made, charged or delivered. There is no real number, no real address and no real means of payment in it.
