Project Overview

The Best Place For is one of the most popular websites in Australia for food lovers. The website demonstrates famous restaurants, burger shops, and other food-related stuff in specific locations. However, the website does not offer food delivery services; you can only search for the restaurant and food, read reviews and other information on this website.

The website is the perfect place for food lovers who regularly look for amazing food in the nearby area. The search by location allows them to find the best restaurant and the delicious dishes they are looking for. Moreover, the inclusion of blogs and customer reviews makes them aware of the quality of the food and the services of particular restaurants.

Business challenge

We were quite excited when the client from Australia first contacted us with this fantastic idea of showcasing food & restaurant reviews, location, and relevant information on the website. The client wanted us to build a website where different kinds of food products such as salad, sandwiches, soup, sushi, Udon, vegetables, burger, bowl, burritos can be displaced with critical reviews and details.

Another feature that the client wanted in the website is to list out popular restaurants serving in Australia. Here are some of the challenges we have faced during the development process.

Google map integration and social media integration were needed respectively in order to help users find the exact location of the restaurant and company’s profile.
Smart search option needed for the website in order to provide maximum convenience to the users even if they are visiting the website for the first time.
Food category classification and filtration are needed for the website to provide a better user experience while navigating the website.
