Eatsy Dine & Reserve — Mobile App | React Native | Stripe | Biometrics
Client: Bank Alfalah Limited · Pakistan
Live on Google Play
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Reimagining the restaurant experience for a leading Pakistani bank
Eatsy Dine & Reserve is a consumer-facing mobile app built for Bank Alfalah Limited — one of Pakistan's largest banks. The app transforms the traditional dine-in experience by letting customers scan a QR code at their table, browse a live digital menu, place orders, and pay securely — all without flagging down a server.
My role was to build the complete cross-platform mobile application from scratch using React Native, integrating biometric authentication, QR-based ordering, real-time order tracking, and fintech-grade payment flows.
CORE FEATURES I BUILT
Biometric authentication
Secure login using native Android and iOS biometric SDKs — fingerprint and Face ID support out of the box.
QR-based ordering
Customers scan a table QR code to instantly load the restaurant's live menu and place orders directly in-app.
Stripe payment integration
End-to-end secure payments via prepaid, debit, and credit cards with OTP verification and Stripe's mobile SDK.
Real-time push notifications
Firebase Cloud Messaging for instant order status updates — confirmed, preparing, ready to serve.
Table reservations
In-app table booking flow with availability checks, so diners skip the wait entirely.
Live order tracking
Real-time order status visible from cart to table delivery, keeping customers informed at every step.
TECH STACK
React Native · Stripe SDK · Android Biometric SDK · iOS LocalAuthentication · Firebase Cloud Messaging · QR Code Scanner · REST APIs
WHAT MADE THIS PROJECT CHALLENGING
Building for a fintech client meant every payment flow had to be bulletproof. Integrating Stripe with OTP-verified card payments on both Android and iOS, while simultaneously supporting native biometric auth via platform-specific SDKs (not just a JS wrapper), required deep work across both native layers.
The QR-based ordering flow also had to feel instant — scanning a code had to load the full live menu with zero perceptible delay, which required careful API design and state management on the mobile side.

🚀 Excited to share something I've been working on!
I recently implemented a Biometric Verification System for Eatsy Dine & Reserve — a dining app by Bank Alfalah that lets users reserve tables, browse digital menus, and make secure payments seamlessly.
As part of the engineering team, I built out biometric authentication to add an extra layer of security to the user login and verification flow — making the experience not just smoother, but significantly more secure.
🔐 What the biometric system brings to the table:
• Fingerprint & face-based authentication
• Faster, passwordless login experience
• Enhanced security for payment verification
• Seamless integration within the existing app architecture
Working on fintech-grade security in a real-world consumer app has been an incredible learning experience. Balancing UX with robust security is always a fun engineering challenge!
📲 The app is live on Google Play — check it out:
