Overview
01
Imagine you can find people near your home who love to cook and have the ability
and skills to prepare home-cooked meals for you. The app, called Feed, will connect users
with local amateur or hobbyist cooks who are passionate about cooking and
providing delicious, home-cooked meals.
Problem
02
Finding home-cooked meals can be a challenge, especially for busy individuals who don’t have the time to cook or go out to eat. The traditional method of ordering food delivery often involves going to a restaurant website or using a third-party delivery service, which can be expensive and doesn’t always offer the best quality food.
Solution
03
FEED solves this problem by connecting users with local amateur or hobbyist cooks who are passionate about cooking and delivering high-quality, home-cooked meals that users can pick up themselves. The app allows users to search for cooks based on their location, cooking style, and dietary preferences, and then view detailed menus and place an order.
User research
04
In order to better understand the needs and frustrations of the user,
I used both interviews and questionnaires. Initially, I sent Google
surveys to 40 potential users between the ages of 18 and 60,
Most relevant of them were merried women aged 40-50 with childrens
