Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) combine the best of websites and mobile applications. These cutting-edge apps load like regular web pages but offer users functionality such as working offline, push notifications, and device hardware access traditionally available only to native applications.
For restaurant owners, PWAs eliminate the barriers of traditional apps - no complicated downloads, no app store approvals, and instant updates across all devices simultaneously.
Traditional mobile apps face a significant hurdle: convincing users to download them. Studies show that the typical user only downloads 0-1 new apps per month, creating a massive barrier to adoption.
Our technology eliminates this friction point entirely. Customers simply click a link or scan a QR code to instantly access your app - no downloads, no waiting, no app store permissions. This results in:
With traditional mobile apps, users must manually update their apps to get the latest version. The result? A fragmented user base with some customers seeing outdated menus, old promotions or missing features.
Our "Always Up-To-Date" technology ensures that every customer always sees the current version of your app, automatically. When you update your menu, add new features, or change your hours, the changes are instantly available to every user.
This creates a consistent brand experience, eliminates customer confusion, and ensures critical information like seasonal menus or holiday hours is always accurate across all customer touchpoints.
Integrate content that matters to your customers like music, videos and photos.
Power your mobile app with our powerful technology partners and third party integrations.

A subscription app is like leasing a fully-managed property rather than buying one outright. For a lower initial investment and ongoing monthly fee, we handle all the technical aspects of your app:
Key Benefits:
Perfect for: Businesses without dedicated technical staff who want a professional mobile presence without the overhead of maintaining an app.
Custom development is like buying a property outright. You make a larger initial investment and gain complete ownership of the code, design, and functionality. This means:
Ownership Responsibilities:
Perfect for: Businesses with specific technical requirements, those with in-house development teams, or organizations needing complete control of their digital assets.
Subscription Plans: We retain ownership of the codebase and platform, while you license the app for your business use. You always maintain 100% ownership of your content, data, and brand elements. Think of it like renting a customized shop space that you fill with your own products.
Custom Development: You receive full ownership of all code, design assets, and the complete application. Once delivered, it's yours to use, modify, or extend as you wish—similar to owning a property outright.
If you cancel your subscription, we provide a 30-day notice period during which your app continues to function normally. During this time, we can export your customer and content data in standard formats for your records.
After the notice period, the app will be deactivated and removed from public access. There are no penalties for cancellation beyond the current month's subscription fee.
If you later decide to resume the service, we can typically restore your app within 48 hours, often with your previous data intact (depending on how long it's been since cancellation).
Yes, we offer migration paths from subscription to ownership. If you decide you want full ownership after starting with a subscription plan, we can:
The transition typically takes 4-6 weeks, during which time your existing app continues to operate normally.
You maintain 100% ownership of all your business data at all times, regardless of which model you choose. This includes:
We never sell or share your data with third parties, and we provide export options so you can back up or transfer your information at any time.
Subscription Plans: We handle the entire app store process on your behalf. Your app will be published under our developer accounts, but fully branded to your business. We manage all submissions, updates, and compliance requirements.
Custom Development: You'll need your own Apple Developer and Google Play accounts (approximately £99/year for Apple and £25 one-time for Google). We can help you set these up and handle the initial submission process, but ongoing management will be your responsibility. For an additional fee, we can provide continued app store management services.
With both options, we guide you through providing the necessary information and assets required by the app stores.
Subscription Plans: Content updates (menu items, prices, images, text) are included in your subscription and can be made through the admin dashboard. Feature changes or additions are assessed based on scope:
Custom Development: After the initial delivery and included revisions, additional changes will require a new development quote. Depending on the complexity, these typically range from £250 for minor updates to £2,000+ for major new functionality.
We offer maintenance packages for custom apps that include a set number of update hours each month at reduced rates.
To ensure your app project runs smoothly, please prepare the following assets and information before we begin.

Schedule Your Kickoff CallMaintaining a mobile app is like servicing a vehicle—regular attention ensures optimal performance and longevity.
Digital threats evolve constantly. Regular security updates patch vulnerabilities and keep your customers' data safe. Without them, your app becomes increasingly vulnerable to breaches.
Apple and Google release major OS updates annually. These often require compatibility adjustments to ensure your app continues working correctly on the latest devices.
Even thoroughly tested apps develop issues over time as they interact with other evolving systems. Ongoing monitoring and fixes ensure a smooth customer experience.
Your app connects to servers that store data and enable functionality. These require monitoring, backups, and optimization to maintain performance as your user base grows.
As devices evolve and user expectations change, apps require performance tuning to maintain speed and responsiveness across different devices and connection types.
Content updates (menu changes, promotions) are simple. Feature updates add new functionality and require development expertise, testing, and often app store resubmission.
Many businesses underestimate the importance of app maintenance until problems arise. An unmaintained app typically experiences:
Slowing load times, crashes, and inconsistent behavior that frustrate customers.
Increased risk of data breaches and unauthorized access as new security threats emerge.
Failures on newer device models and operating systems, limiting your audience.
Payment processing issues and order failures that directly impact your bottom line.
Poor reviews and word-of-mouth from customers experiencing problems.
Complete failure requiring a costly rebuild from scratch rather than incremental updates.
With our subscription plans, all essential maintenance is included.
For custom apps, we offer affordable maintenance packages to protect your investment.

When Alex Chen, owner of The Corner Bistro, approached us, his restaurant was struggling with phone orders consuming staff time and reducing table service quality. Within 30 days of launching their custom app:
"The app has transformed our business," says Alex. "Not only are we processing more orders with the same staff, but we're building valuable customer relationships through the loyalty program. The ROI was evident within the first month."
The app's success hinged on several key features:
Classic Cuts barbershop was losing customers to competitors with online booking systems. Within two months of launching their custom app:
"Our clients love being able to book anytime, and our stylists appreciate starting each day with a full, reliable schedule." - David Rodriguez, Owner
Bright Smile Dental Practice was struggling with costly appointment no-shows and last-minute cancellations. Their custom app solution delivered:
"The app has streamlined our entire patient communication process while significantly reducing empty chair time." - Dr. Sarah Chen
"Working with Epicurean Digital was the best business decision we've made this year. Our app has completely transformed how we handle orders. We've reduced phone order errors by 95%, increased our average ticket size by 28%, and customers love the loyalty program. The team understood our restaurant's unique needs from day one and delivered an app that looks and feels like an extension of our brand."
Emma Peterson
Owner, The Garden Table Café
"Our salon's appointment scheduling was a mess before we got our custom app. Now we've eliminated double-bookings, increased our client retention by 40%, and our stylists love having client preferences at their fingertips. The team made the entire development process simple and stress-free."
Michael Torres
Owner, Style Studio
"As a small boutique, we didn't think we could afford a custom app. Epicurean Digital proved us wrong by delivering an affordable solution that has increased our repeat customers by 35% through the loyalty program alone. The curbside pickup feature has been a game-changer for our busy customers."
Fatima Khan
Owner, Urban Bloom Boutique
