Project Summary

Tapptitude developed an iOS application from scratch that aggregates three restaurant reservation APIs into one platform and includes calendar integrations for scheduling. The team created wireframes and UX, integrated third-party APIs, and procured high-resolution imagery through a photography partnership. The app had not yet entered beta testing, but the client praised Tapptitude's strategic thinking, responsiveness, and role in enabling the company's formation.

Key Challenges

Project Solution

Archbolt spent initial days aligning on strategy and value proposition, then developed wireframes and UX and built a native iOS app that aggregates three separate restaurant reservation APIs. The solution included calendar-recognition functionality to suggest reservations based on phone calendar events, search by restaurant or cuisine/time, and integration of high-resolution photos secured via a photography partner. The team was led by a project manager with CEO oversight and included two to three developers.

Project Outcome

Built the core iOS application and defined the product such that the company exists because of the engagement
App had not yet reached beta testing at the time of the review

Quality of Deliverables

“The application has not reached a testing stage, but Tapptitude's (formerly Archbolt) involvement cannot be overstated. Their strategic thinking and business development abilities make them an ideal partner for startups. The team is responsive, and their drive to meet end user needs is admirable.”
