1. Handling Large Menu & Promotions
Saladium offers a wide variety of salads, bowls, and wellness combos. Displaying this dynamic menu—alongside ongoing offers—without cluttering the UI was critical.
2. Managing Video Playback and Memory:
Efficient video management was crucial for smooth playback, without overwhelming the system’s memory.
3. Real-Time Data Integration:
Incorporating real-world, up-to-date apartment data posed a challenge in providing accurate, live listings to users.
4. AI Chat bot:
The chat feature needed to filter and provide accurate apartment listings based on user input. Implementing real-time chat functionality that could query the database and return the best results was a challenge via AI.
1. Optimized Menu Rendering with Pagination & Filtering:
Only 50–80 items are shown per category, with infinite scroll and category filters (e.g., “Salads”, “Bowls”, “Deals”). Menu data is cached locally and refreshed every few minutes, minimizing load times and improving responsiveness.
2. Lazy Media Loading & Local Caching:
Dish images and promo videos are loaded lazily—only as users scroll—using compressed formats. Once played, short video loops are saved in cache to prevent re-downloading. This maintains a smooth visual experience.
3.Real-Time Menu via Firebase + Admin CMS.
We integrated Firebase for live availability updates (e.g., item sold out) and connected with Saladium’s in-house Admin CMS. This backend also feeds offer data (like scratch‑card rewards, credit‑card discounts) directly to the app UI .
4. AI-Powered Chat Assistant:
An OpenAI‑based chatbot guides users: “I’m vegan tonight, show me options under ₹300 with any offers.” It queries catalog data, applies offer logic, and surfaces personalized recommendations quickly.
1. 70% Faster Load Times:
Menu load time dropped from ~4 sec to ~1.2 sec even on 4G.
2. 30% Higher Engagement:
More users viewed dish details and offers due to smoother browsing.
3. Real-Time Accuracy:
Sold-out status and scratch-card rewards were live—reducing customer disappointment.
4. Positive Reviews:
Customer feedback highlighted “quick, easy salad selection” and “love the live discounts!”
5. Simplified UX:
Chatbot usage accounted for 25% of orders—a new, convenient ordering method.
