Although not directly involved in the project beyond some high level discussions, it has been a pleasure for me to assist in its testing. The new system allows customers to browse a store’s menu, create an order and place it directly with their chosen store – all from the comfort of their PC or mobile phone. At the moment, payment is cash only with the facility for credit card payments to be launched soon.

It was pretty neat to fire up my browser, login and customise a pizza (chicken and mushrooms with extra jalepenos if you must know), and have it delivered to my door a few minutes later. All in the name of software quality assurance of course.

So next time you’re in the mood for pizza, why not take a look at ordering online at www.debonairs.com or www.debonairs.mobi if you’re not at a PC.

We’ll post some more comprehensive case studies on the technical aspects of project at a later stage, but if you have any comments or questions about the system itself (service and culinary feedback should be directed to Debonairs obviously), feel free to get in touch. To my knowledge this is the first online fast food ordering system launched in the country, where the order is placed directly at the kitchen when you checkout.

Happy ordering.

The new site showcases a number of Flash clips which both enhance and support the Cell C Direct brand. We also implemented a custom content management system for the client which makes adding and managing things like phones, deals, tariffs and accessories a breeze.
