The Jíme Brno App
from a Developer's Perspective
Con Gusto
2022
The Con Gusto restaurant group, which owns several restaurants in Brno, decided to launch its own food delivery service, Jíme Brno. And since they already trusted us with their loyalty system, the delivery platform was a natural next step.
Technical analysis
and architecture design
Based on the brief and technical analysis, we designed a system architecture composed of several independent yet interconnected applications—a customer-facing e-shop, a kitchen dashboard, a courier mobile app, and an admin panel.
Technology
stack
At Cognito, we specialize in PHP and Symfony web application development. We have dozens of production projects on this platform, which gives us deep expertise and battle-tested patterns for rapid delivery.
Frontend
and mobile app
For the frontend, we generate server-side templates in Twig and use vanilla JavaScript with Stimulus for interactivity—a lightweight approach that keeps the app fast and maintainable.
Iterative
development process
Our standard workflow includes requirements gathering by the account manager and UX designer, interactive prototype creation, client approval, final UI design, and iterative development in two-week sprints.
Fun fact
to wrap up
What initially looks like a few lines of code but ends up taking the whole team days: audio notifications on iPads (push notifications via an external service), inaccurate addresses (SmartForm integration), and real-time delivery zone calculations.

worked
From brief through architecture design to launching the delivery service. Complete development of 5 interconnected applications in one ecosystem.
