Chowman, founded in 2010 in Kolkata, is a leading Indo-Chinese dining chain with 36+ outlets across India. They needed a unified digital platform to support online ordering, delivery, and national expansion.

Requirements
Powering Chowman’s Scalable
Digital Ordering
Ecosystem
Chowman needed a high-performance web and mobile platform to unify ordering, menu management, and real-time delivery across 36+ outlets. It includes geo-routing, POS integration, multi-payments, and a scalable system built for nationwide expansion.
THE CHALLENGE
Chowman’s rapid expansion outpaced its
fragmented digital infrastructure
and operational systems.
Managing 675+ menu items across 36+ outlets relied on manual processes that led to pricing inconsistencies, while Bengal’s largest private delivery fleet lacked real-time tracking and optimized routing. The challenge was to unify ordering, menu management, and delivery operations into a single scalable platform without losing the premium, culturally immersive brand experience that defines Chowman.
SOLUTION
We built a unified digital ecosystem that brings Chowman's entire customer-facing and operational workflow under one scalable roof.
- Centralized Multi-Outlet Menu Management Engine
- Geo-Intelligent Outlet Detection & Order Routing
- Real-Time Delivery Tracking & Fleet Integration
- Multi-Gateway Payment Infrastructure
- Customer Loyalty & Promotional Campaign Engine
- POS Synchronization Across All Outlets
- Scalable, Expansion-Ready Platform Architecture
EXECUTION
Discovery & Operational Mapping
Stakeholder workshops across operations, logistics, and marketing teams to map workflows, audit legacy systems, and define a product roadmap aligned with national expansion targets.
Agile Platform Development
Parallel build of web platform, mobile apps, menu engine, and delivery module in two-week sprints — with continuous POS integration testing across live outlets in all five cities.
Infrastructure & Nationwide Launch
Cloud deployment with auto-scaling architecture, load testing for peak festive-season traffic, and phased go-live across all 36+ outlets with dedicated post-launch monitoring and support.
"They built a platform that simplifies our multi-city operations—centralizing menus,
tracking deliveries, and boosting online orders with
full visibility."
