The full ordering, subscription, address management and rider tracking flow is mobile-native.

The story behind Monk's Salad
Monk's Salad, a healthy-eating QSR with growing repeat customer demand, was losing orders to delivery aggregators that took 30% margin and gave them zero customer data. They wanted their own ordering channel — with loyalty, subscriptions and the kind of food-tracking content their nutrition-aware customers actually engaged with.
We built a React Native consumer app (iOS + Android) and a kitchen-display web app. The consumer app handles menu browsing with macro-nutrient breakdowns, recurring subscriptions for weekly meal plans, loyalty points, push-driven offers, and tipped delivery via integrated rider partners.
Backend: Node + Postgres, Redis for menu caching, Stripe + Razorpay for payments, FCM for push, and a recommendation engine that surfaces dishes based on the customer's saved macros and previous orders.
Monk's Salad now runs its own ordering channel — capturing margin previously lost to aggregators and owning the customer relationship directly. Subscriptions give the kitchen predictable weekly demand, and the loyalty and referral flows keep regulars coming back.
Monk's Salad — common questions
Monk's Salad is a mobile app (iOS and Android) for ordering custom salads and subscribing to weekly meal plans personalised to your height, weight and health goals, with macro-nutrient breakdowns on every dish.
Monk's Salad is live on both the Apple App Store (iOS) and Google Play (Android), built with React Native so both platforms stay in sync.
Customers choose a weekly plan and the app schedules recurring orders, so the kitchen gets predictable demand and customers get their meals without re-ordering each time. Plans can be paused or changed anytime.
Yes — Aystera built the React Native consumer app, the kitchen-display web app, and the Node + Postgres backend with payments, push notifications and a recommendation engine, end to end.
