Case Study: a US-based restaurant chain achieves faster, more scalable website performance with Capital Numbers

a US-based restaurant chain cuts page load time from 12+ seconds to under 5 seconds with Capital Numbers

The US-based restaurant chain, a popular operator of over 200 locations, faced significant performance issues with its outdated website. The site was slow to load, had a messy codebase, and could not efficiently process the high volume of user queries and data syncs required for its operations. The client engaged vendor Capital Numbers for a core application modernization project to address these challenges and optimize the website for enhanced performance.

Capital Numbers implemented a comprehensive solution that included optimizing location and contactless pages, integrating Yext API for real-time data, automating data fetching with CRON scripts, and creating new modules for catering and job applications. They also offloaded user queries to a separate server to balance the load. The results were transformative: page load times were reduced from over 12 seconds to under 5 seconds, and the client gained automated, dynamic systems for managing data and customer interactions. The successful outcome led to positive feedback and a long-term engagement for further customizations.
