02 / Dining & Loyalty
Mangia Rewards
Mangia Rewards: an unfinished idea, finally out in the world.
We rebuilt the web and mobile apps, helped the team reach market, and turned a stalled project into a product that is now growing with users.
What we built
We took on the rebuild of both the web app and mobile apps. That brought the work back around a concrete goal: get Mangia Rewards ready for market. A dining rewards product needs to make its value clear to diners while fitting the restaurant experience; the web and mobile products are the bridge between that promise and everyday use.
- ✓ Rebuilt the web application
- ✓ Rebuilt the mobile applications
- ✓ Helped move the product from unfinished development to market

We paired a wireless device with a companion app so a car could be part of its owner's profile, then built the social layer around garages, builds and events.
- ✓ Wireless hardware integration

Sweet Ride
Sweet Ride: connecting riders, drivers, and local delivery.
A past rideshare and food delivery project for Hershey and Harrisburg, with rider apps, driver apps, and dispatch tools. The app is no longer live.

Planning your next step
Can you build both iOS and Android apps?
Yes. We build native and cross-platform mobile apps, along with the web applications and administration tools that support them. We recommend the approach after understanding your users, features, integrations, and budget.
Can you take over an unfinished app?
Yes. We start by reviewing the existing code, designs, access, and outstanding work, then define what to keep and what needs rebuilding. Mangia Rewards is an example: we rebuilt its unfinished web and mobile apps and helped the product reach market.
How much will my app cost, and how long will it take?
The scope determines both. A first conversation helps us understand the essential features, platforms, integrations, and launch goals. We then define the deliverables, milestones, and budget before development. Our typical mobile project planning range is 8–20 weeks; a review of your project will establish a realistic timeline.
What happens after launch?
We can continue with maintenance, OS compatibility updates, bug fixes, feature releases, and growth marketing. We agree on the support scope with you, so the next phase has a clear plan as well as the initial build.
What is GEO, and how is it different from SEO?
SEO helps search engines find, understand, and rank your pages. Generative engine optimization, or GEO, focuses on helping AI answer systems understand and surface your business. Both benefit from useful content, clear structure, and credible information. We track visibility and improve the work over time; no agency can guarantee rankings or AI mentions.
Can we work together if I’m not in Pennsylvania?
Yes. Original Pixel is based in York, Pennsylvania and works with clients nationwide. We use shared project milestones, working builds, and clear updates to keep the work moving wherever your team is located.
