About the Company

• Our team’s objective is to bring the same high-quality digital experience that customers enjoy in the UK and Ireland to customers across the USA.
• To deliver this, we work across the entire online ordering stack — Locate, Menu, Payment and Orders — as well as Loyalty, Identity and the frontend app and web experiences.

• The Menu domain’s primary objective is to support the business in presenting menu items digitally, effectively translating the physical menu into a seamless digital experience.
• The Payment domain covers everything related to getting money in for our eCommerce journeys, making integration with our payment provider a critical responsibility.
• The Orders domain handles taking, processing and tracking customer orders end to end, making sure every order placed online reaches the right restaurant accurately and on time.
• The Loyalty domain rewards customers for choosing Nando’s, building the programmes and integrations that recognise and retain them.
• The Identity domain manages how customers sign up, sign in and are recognised across our digital experiences, keeping their accounts secure and seamless.
• Our frontend applications bring these domains together across web and app, delivering the rich, consistent experience our customers interact with every day.
