Dining In - AN APP FOR FOOD LOVERS

Introduction

We met our client in an IT event. The system is an Australia based “Airbnb for food” or “Foodbnb” for people who love homemade food and meeting new people.

The platform connects travelers with on-the-ground hosts for the ultimate authentic and unique dining experience. Tourists can find events where they would get cuisines of their choice and a company of people with similar interests.

Challenges

  • The client wanted an app that's intended for everyone who always wanted to utilize and showcase their cooking talent but could not make it happen. With the help of this app, they wanted to provide people with a platform which would enable them to become a host, cook food and invite people for dining at their places.
  • Along with this, they also wanted an app that can help tourists in discovering events for homemade dining and social get together with people of same interests in far places.
  • The key objective of the app was focused to create an environment that's friendly, social, exciting and would bring tourists and locals together.
