The Full Story

Challenge, Solution & Results

Challenge

Chowman, one of India's fastest-growing restaurant chains, faced severe server overloads during peak hours as their order volume scaled rapidly. Their existing food ordering system couldn't handle the traffic spikes, causing order failures and customer frustration across all outlets in Kolkata and other Indian cities. They needed a scalable, white-label food ordering app that could grow with them — without the 25–30% commission fees of third-party food delivery aggregators.

Solution

Deonde deployed a scalable, cloud-based food ordering platform on AWS with auto-scaling infrastructure, Redis caching, and queue-based order processing. The system was engineered to handle 50x normal traffic during peak promotional events without any degradation in performance. A fully branded Chowman app was launched on the App Store and Google Play — Chowman's own branding, Chowman's customer data, zero commission. The entire setup went from signup to live orders in just 7 days.

Results

Chowman achieved 99.9% platform uptime and completely eliminated order failures during peak events. Order completion rates improved significantly across all 35+ outlet locations, and customer satisfaction scores increased across the entire restaurant network. Chowman now owns every customer relationship — no dependency on third-party marketplaces, no paying 25–30% commission per order, and full access to customer data for loyalty programmes and direct marketing.
