Feature

Co-Branding on a Shared Platform

We built a co-branded ordering experience for Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery, unifying two distinct brands into a single, fast, intuitive commerce flow without compromising identity or performance.

Details

Why we built this feature

Guests were moving between two brands with disconnected digital experiences, which created friction and lowered conversion. We built a unified co-branded flow to simplify ordering, strengthen both brand identities, and streamline operations. The approach was informed by guest behavior, store visits, and close collaboration with the client’s teams.

How we built this feature

We designed a shared UX system that adapts to each brand’s look while merging both menus into a single, intuitive path. On the engineering side, we built a custom Olo front end with dynamic styling, co-branded menu logic, and flexible components that scale across locations. Throughout the build, we validated flows with brand, ops, and IT teams to ensure accuracy, speed, and long-term maintainability.

Feature

Custom Group Ordering

We built a fast, intuitive group-ordering feature for custom front ends, letting hosts invite guests instantly, track items in real time, and manage orders seamlessly with clear identifiers and smooth handoff between devices.

Details

Why We Built This Feature

Group ordering is usually messy and slow, and most solutions don’t match real guest behavior. We built this to remove friction, speed up ordering, and give hosts and guests a clear, reliable flow. The work was grounded in user research and shaped closely with our client’s ops and digital teams so the solution addressed real-world gaps.

How We Built It

We mapped the full host and guest journey, validated it with the client, and refined prototypes until the flow felt immediate and intuitive. Then we engineered a custom front end with QR onboarding, unique guest identifiers, real-time syncing, and simple status cues. The build was done in tight collaboration with the client’s product and engineering teams to ensure accuracy, edge-case coverage, and long-term reliability.

Feature

Olo Borderless Integration

Custom Front End Borderless login flow that signs guests in fully within their checkout experience and fully branded all the way through.

Details

Why we built this feature

Guests expect a fast, seamless sign-in experience during checkout. Borderless removes friction by letting users authenticate without leaving the branded flow, improving conversion and reducing drop-off. We built this to unify the experience, keep guests in the moment, and support a fully branded checkout journey.

How we built this feature

We implemented Olo Borderless directly within the custom front end, handling passcode authentication, error states, and edge cases inside the branded UI. The entire login process remains native to the experience, ensuring guests stay signed in smoothly from identification through payment—without redirecting or breaking flow.

Feature

Donut Box Builder

We built a custom donut builder for Duck Donuts that lets guests create, name, save, and reuse their perfect made-to-order donut—paired with clear visual previews, box indicators, and kitchen-friendly output.

Details

Why we built this feature

Guests were rebuilding the same custom donut—base, glaze, topping—up to a dozen times, slowing ordering and causing errors. We created a builder that lets them design a donut once, name it, save it, and reuse it instantly. Visual cues like a live box view, list view, and tooltips make the process clear. The solution was shaped by actual ordering behavior and close collaboration with the Duck Donuts team to ensure it fit operational needs.

How we built this feature

We centered the builder on the donut-creation flow and added save-and-reuse functionality so guests could quickly fill a half-dozen or dozen. Dynamic previews, a live box view, and descriptive tooltips guide navigation. A custom Olo-based state layer keeps saved donuts and box updates synced. User testing refined the experience, and we verified that printed tickets matched existing kitchen processes to maintain operational continuity.

3D Cookie Cake Builder

A fully custom, mobile-friendly cake builder that lets guests design and preview their own cookie cake before checkout.

Details

Why We Built It:

Cookie cakes are a signature product for GAC, yet guests had no way to visualize their designs before checkout. That gap created uncertainty, incorrect orders, and higher abandonment. We built this experience to give guests real-time confidence in every choice—shape, flavor, border colors, upgrades, and message—mirroring the level of customization they expect in-store while dramatically improving accuracy online.

How We Built It:

We engineered a fully dynamic visual builder that renders every modifier in real time: shape changes, flavor swaps, alternating border colors, icing choices, and live-typed messages. Each visual update is tied to Olo’s modifier structure behind the scenes, ensuring perfect translation from the front end to the kitchen ticket. The result is a fast, code-driven, highly accurate customization system that scales cleanly across all locations.

Olo Powered Menu – Custom Front End Foundation

Blaze Pizza’s new site is the first phase of their move toward a fully custom front end, powered by real-time Olo menu integration, dynamic store data, and seamless routing into white-label ordering.

Details

Why we built this feature

Blaze needed a stronger digital foundation that reflected real-time menu updates and modern ordering flows. This phase gives them reliable Olo connectivity today while setting up the architecture for a full custom front-end experience without rework later.

Feature

Points Earned Preview in Cart

A real-time points preview displayed directly in the cart, showing guests how many loyalty points they’ll earn and how close they are to their next reward as they build their order.

Details

Why we built this feature

Guests wanted clearer insight into the value of their order, but point earnings were only visible after checkout. Showing points earlier increases engagement, boosts completion rates, and encourages repeat visits. This aligns with Pepe’s broader loyalty goals and gives guests immediate feedback while ordering.

How we built this feature

We run the full points algorithm inside the custom front end, calculating earnings instantly as items are added or removed. The cart updates in real time with accurate point totals and reward progress, without relying on external calculations. This keeps the flow fast, consistent, and fully aligned with Pepe’s loyalty rules.

Feature

Olo Pay Integration

A streamlined checkout experience using Apple Pay and Olo Pay, fully integrated into the custom front end. Payments authenticate instantly through Apple Pay while Olo Pay handles processing, authorization, and security behind the scenes.

Details

Why we built this feature

Guests expect fast, trusted, one-tap payment options. Integrating Apple Pay with Olo Pay gives them a frictionless, familiar checkout flow while keeping all payment logic centralized, secure, and aligned with Olo’s ecosystem.

How we built this feature

We connected the custom checkout to Olo Pay’s workflows, enabling Apple Pay to trigger cleanly while Olo Pay manages tokenization, validation, and backend processing. The UI stays fully branded, and the payment experience remains seamless end-to-end with no redirects or disjointed states.

Local Pages Powered by Olo Sync

Real-time sports integration with dynamic pricing during games table service coordination and live event specials for enhanced...A fully automated location page system powered entirely by Olo. Nearby stores populate instantly based on the guest’s location, and every detail—store info, hours, and navigation labels—updates in real time with no manual entry required.

Details

Why we built this feature

Brands needed accurate, scalable location pages without relying on manual content updates. By pulling all data directly from Olo, every store stays current automatically, improving reliability, reducing maintenance, and giving guests consistent information across the entire system.

How we built this feature

We integrated the custom front end directly with Olo’s store APIs, dynamically rendering nearby locations with real-time distance, hours, and store details. The system updates instantly through Olo’s data layer, automatically syncing names, contact info, and hours across every page. The result is a fast, hands-off, always-accurate location experience built to scale across hundreds of stores.
