Snap Online

Snap Kitchen is a one stop healthy meal shop, providing you the healthy, delicious convenience of having personal chefs and nutritionists design your meals every day. Skip the cooking and stock your fridge with pre-made, nutritionally-balanced meals that are ready to heat and eat!

The Snap Kitchen website, while robust enough to provide basic menu and location data, was in desperate need of a sweeping overhaul to follow along with the stores rapid country-wide expansion, allowing people from different cities to get location-accurate data as will as eventually provide the ability to order Snap food online and get that food delivered using a third-party delivery service. Using up-to-date web app and backend technologies, our engineering team was not only able to implement this functionality, but also go above and beyond, giving users info they might not know they needed, such as real-time store outages, holiday hours, and food stock updates.

Snap relied on myself and a team of backend engineers to update and improve the existing Snap Kitchen website, preferring a gradual update over a full single release of all of the improvements. This sequential plan called first for the complete redesign and overhaul of the store locator, which was updated on top of Snap's existing Angular platform. I developed a full view interactive map that seemlessly integrated search functionality and a full-breadth location overview that provided store hours and location specifics in addition to providing useful info such as upcoming or active holiday hours. Next I was tasked with integrating with the Snap rewards system, creating a dynamic way to generate bar codes and display real-time reward balances based on a user's account data.

In order to enable the integration of the most up-to-date and accurate info, our engineering team worked to integrate with Snap's existing Point-Of-Sale system which was updated to be REST-complaint and easily digestable on the web, while also ensuring all of the requested data was as accurate and error-free as possible. The end result was ensured up-to-date data that we were certain was the same location and food info a customer would get from a store or customer service.
