Turning a personal, offline service into a digital product.

The client wanted to digitize a highly personalized offline service — a personal chef who either cooks in the customer's home or prepares meals offsite for delivery. The platform needed to simplify what is traditionally a complex booking process, while still giving customers complete flexibility over their weekly meal plans, portion sizes, and schedule.

The goal was a premium digital experience that felt as considered as the service itself — not a generic delivery-app template.

  • A booking flow that stays simple despite deep personalization
  • Dietary preferences, portion sizes, and household needs to manage per customer
  • Coordinating chef service, delivery, and recurring schedules in one system
  • A marketing site that converts alongside a full operational back office

Marketing, planning, booking, and admin in one ecosystem.

We designed and developed a complete customer platform combining marketing, meal planning, booking, and administration into one seamless ecosystem. The customer journey was intentionally kept to three steps — select meals and dietary preferences, choose people, schedule, and portion sizes, then receive freshly prepared meals at home — minimizing friction while still allowing deep customization.

01

Customer journey & onboarding

A simple three-step flow — select meals, choose people and schedule, receive meals — designed to minimize friction while allowing extensive customization.

02

Interactive meal planning

Personalized meal selection, dietary requirement filtering, portion customization, family meal planning, nutritional information, and weekly scheduling.

03

Booking & customer experience

Customers schedule chef visits, manage weekly plans, update meal preferences, and adjust household and nutritional goals — from first visit through recurring bookings.

04

Administration portal

A Laravel admin panel for managing customers, meal catalogues, content, pricing, nutritional data, bookings, and operational analytics without developer involvement.

05

Marketing website

SEO-friendly landing pages, FAQs, and service explanations built around a conversion-focused user experience.

Our role: we were responsible for full-cycle development — from a high-converting customer experience in React to the backend architecture in Laravel, including the meal planning workflow, booking system, customer portal, CMS, and admin dashboard.

A premium service, built to scale.
