#STARTUP

Waitrr saw huge pain points for both customers & food vendor in Singapore's dining scene and wanted to be the first startup disrupting the market with an innovative platform. Waitrr was in seed funding round and didn't have a technical in-house team initially. Following a lean approach, they preferred a trusted product partner instead to build the platform so that the core team could be lazer-focused on the idea.

01MVP version of the platform to prove the business partner's vision

At the first stage, the startup founders thought they needed a MVP (minimum viable product) to quickly prove vision and check the market acceptance. From that partner' vision, GEEK Up team sketched the roadmap and features, rapidly designed, produced prototyping and implementation to build the MVP.

02Deep dive into painpoints to make impact

The team found the painpoint 30% customers' calls missed by restaurants. so the feature "take away" was quickly added in first weeks to solve the problem. Vendors refused to use the platform due to the lack of royalty program support. Quickly, the "digital wallet" feature was integrated into the app to help restaurant owners build up strong royalty program.

03Relentless Optimization

Waitrr and GEEK Up went on measuring the user behavior to gain insights for future innovation, provide more user-centred features to earn loyalty and boost the sustainable growth.
