Case study · Ordering & Business App
Mag’s Lechon App
One phone app that runs a lechon belly business in Dumaguete, from the first Messenger order to the accountant’s spreadsheet. The owner takes orders, the kitchen gets a batch plan for the bars, riders get their run on their phones, a till works at bazaars without signal, and every sale and expense lands in proper books. It uses the same red and the same pig as the logo I designed for the brand.
The problem
Orders came in through Messenger and calls, the kitchen worked from memory, riders were sent addresses by text, and the money was counted at the end of the day with no clear profit picture.
What I built
A phone app for the owner and staff, a simple delivery page for riders and a till for events. Orders feed the kitchen plan and the delivery runs, and sales and expenses feed a profit and loss statement with a chart of accounts.
The result
The owner sees each day’s orders, lechon count and unpaid balances on the home screen, gets a warning before a busy day, and hands the accountant a workbook instead of a box of receipts.
Built with
An installable web app with OpenStreetMap and OpenRouteService for routes, AI for reading orders and receipts, phone notifications and error monitoring.
The whole day on one screen
Today and tomorrow’s orders, how many lechon to roast, how full each time slot is and who still owes money, with a calendar that marks busy days in red.
Orders in under a minute
Paste a customer’s Messenger message and the app fills in the order. Each customer keeps their address, landmark and map pin, so repeat orders are a few taps.
The kitchen plans itself
Orders are packed onto the nine roasting bars in batches, with prep, on, off and ready times. The plan prints for the kitchen and a schedule image shares straight to the team chat.
Delivery runs on a map
Runs are planned per rider on a map with real road times. Riders scan a QR once, then see their stops, what to collect and a button to photograph each delivery.
A till for every bazaar
Each event gets its own till link for the stall phone. It keeps selling without signal, then shows sales, cash over or short and how many kilos went missing.
Books an accountant can read
Snap a receipt and the app reads the supplier, amount and VAT. Sales, expenses and payroll land in a profit and loss statement with a cost per lechon.
Stock, staff and alerts
Pork, charcoal and LPG counts that warn before running out, staff logins that never see the money, and a phone alert the evening before a busy day.
