Gula offers a unified hub for all online food delivery app partners. It helps restaurants streamline operations, gain real-time data, and optimize menus, boosting both efficiency and customer experience.

Our Partnership
RaftLabs partnered with a visionary B2B platform to revolutionize the food tech industry in Indonesia. Recognizing the challenges of managing multiple online delivery partners, we began researching and planning food ordering systems and apps in Indonesia to develop a robust solution.
Our dedicated team, guided by stakeholders' vision, tackled key challenges and built a user-friendly interface using React, AntDesign, Node, and Flutter, allowing restaurant owners to operate with a single platform for managing orders, menus, and promotions.
We solved the below challenges while building the centralized app for food order management. Here's how:
Seamless Integrations
We connected Gula to POS systems and delivery partners like GoFood and GrabFood, eliminating the need for multiple apps. Order management became a breeze!
Real-time Tracking
No more waiting! We ensured instant order updates, allowing restaurants to manage deliveries efficiently and avoid confusion.
Flexible Menus
We built a system that adapts to any menu format, making it easy for Gula to manage their offerings across platforms. Consistency guaranteed!
Intuitive Interface
Our user-friendly app, built with cutting-edge technology, simplifies everything for restaurant owners. Manage orders, menus, and promotions from one place. And, all order details and customer information seamlessly flow to a single kitchen printer, ensuring efficient and error-free fulfillment.
