Project overview
This project focused on delivering a staff time-tracking mobile application for McDonald's franchise operations. The objective was straightforward in principle but operationally sensitive: make workforce tracking faster, clearer and easier to use during busy shifts.
In franchise environments, small workflow inefficiencies compound quickly. Software must fit the pace of the floor, not force teams into slower administrative behaviour.
Business challenge
Teams needed a reliable way to manage time-tracking activity with minimal friction and clearer visibility for managers. Existing approaches can become fragmented, inconsistent and difficult to scale across locations.
The challenge was to deliver practical utility immediately, while supporting consistent operational standards.
Delivery approach
I delivered a focused application experience oriented around speed and clarity. Product decisions prioritised low-friction workflows, role-aware access and dependable data capture aligned with day-to-day franchise management.
Rather than overcomplicate the feature set, the build centred on the core actions teams perform repeatedly under time pressure.
Results and impact
The result was a more consistent and usable process for staff time tracking, improving operational control versus manual or disconnected alternatives.
