Case Study

Wing Masters Express

WME is a full delivery platform we built end to end — customer ordering, kitchen display, and driver apps, all powered by a single WordPress REST API backend. Live on the App Store and Google Play, processing real orders, in real time, every day.

About Wing Masters Express

Wing Masters Express is a delivery-focused food business serving wings, smash burgers, and fries. Rather than relying on third-party delivery apps and their commissions, WME needed its own ordering, kitchen, and delivery system — one built to run the full operation under its own brand.

One WordPress Backend, Three Connected Apps

WME runs on a single WordPress REST API backend serving three purpose-built applications, each wrapped in a native iOS/Android shell and published to the App Store and Google Play:

  • Customer Ordering App — browsing, cart, and checkout
  • Kitchen Display System (KDS) — real-time order management for kitchen staff, with automatic thermal printer ticket generation
  • Driver App — delivery assignment and tracking

Real-Time, Not Just "Refresh to Check"

Food delivery lives or dies on real-time updates — a kitchen that doesn’t know about a new order the second it’s placed is a kitchen that’s already behind. We built two dedicated Node.js WebSocket servers to push order updates instantly across all three apps, with heartbeat and reconnection logic to keep every connection reliable, even under real restaurant network conditions.

A Checkout Built for the Job, Not Bent to Fit a Plugin

WME doesn’t run on WooCommerce. With three connected apps needing to stay in sync in real time, a standard plugin-based checkout couldn’t keep up — so we built a fully custom checkout and order-management system from scratch, designed specifically for a multi-app, real-time architecture. Payments run through Stripe, including handling declined payments and reconciling failed orders automatically.

Built to Handle What Real Restaurants Actually Deal With

Beyond the core ordering flow, WME needed to solve problems that only show up under real production use:

  • Firebase push notifications for order status updates
  • Automatic thermal printer ticket printing in the kitchen
  • Geolocation-based delivery distance calculations
  • Timezone-aware order and reporting logic
  • Diagnosed and resolved a production malware intrusion, hardening the platform against it
  • Custom plugins built specifically for WME's operations, including QR-based tools and automated PDF generation
