About the Point of Sale and Kitchen Management Team

Our team aims to transform the at-counter experience for Customers and Nandocas globally. The goal is to replace the existing legacy POS providers with a truly best-in-class solution.

This is a largely greenfield project to replace the existing POS systems with a bespoke Nando’s built system. This will build on our existing successful digital ordering and kitchen management systems to create a spine of Nando’s ordering technology.

This project is based in the UK but will be used in Nando’s globally (Australia, South Africa, USA, UK). This provides exciting challenges around localisation, configurability and cultural understanding.

The point-of-sale system covers the assisted ordering experience, creating an exciting opportunity to build highly responsive, state-driven interfaces that seamlessly integrate with backend menus, payments, and order systems. It also provides an opportunity to explore frontend resiliency (such as offline modes), as ensuring restaurants can continue to trade is critical.

Responsibilities

• Actively collaborate with other members of the team across all disciplines.
• Routinely pair across disciplines and drive improvements in the team's ways of working.
• Support backlog priority decisions with technical input.
• Develop end-to-end and unit test coverage (including Widget and Integration testing in Flutter), actively increasing the robustness, quality, and number of tests within our codebase alongside feature development.
• Maintain client-side applications once in production and ensure a robust monitoring and crash-reporting strategy is in place.
• Build robust and performant release pipelines for our frontend applications and support peers in troubleshooting build failures.

Skills Required

• Proficiency in Dart and the Flutter framework is essential for building our multi-platform Point of Sale interfaces.
• Strong experience with Flutter state management solutions, responsive UI design, and interacting with REST/gRPC backend services is highly desirable.
• Experience with any of the following is highly desirable: Google Cloud Platform, SQL/SQLite databases, or deploying software to edge devices.
• Knowledge or experience with BFF (Backend For Frontend) architectural concepts.
• Experience with backend development, particularly using Golang or Rust, would be beneficial.
• Experience with development for a Windows or Android target would be ideal.
• Proven experience of agile practices and the ability to break down complex epics/features and provide effort estimates.
• Experience and enthusiasm for embracing AI as part of the development workflow.
• Ability to articulate technical topics and promote technology opportunities with a clear customer benefit.
• Ability to engage with stakeholders outside the team and lead technical integration discussions with third parties.
