EBE: home cooked food from real kitchens near you.

A three sided marketplace for home cooked food. Neighbors order in a couple of taps, home cooks run their own kitchen and set their own plan, and drivers pick up the delivery. Built for one founder and live on the App Store.

The challenge

The delivery giants were never built for the home cook

There are talented cooks in every neighborhood, people who could sell a plate of real home cooking if there were a simple way to take the order, the money and the delivery. The big delivery apps are built for restaurants with kitchens and permits, and they take a heavy cut on the way through.

The owner wanted the opposite: a marketplace where a home cook can open a kitchen in minutes, a neighbor can order in a couple of taps, and a driver can pick it up, all in one app, without handing most of the money to a giant.

The ask: one app that ties together three kinds of people, cooks, customers and drivers, and ships all the way to the App Store.

What we built

One app, three sides of a marketplace

๐Ÿ”

Order in a couple taps

Find cooks near you, open a menu, add a dish and check out for delivery or pickup. Your phone number is your account.

๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ

Real home kitchens

Any cook can open a kitchen, list dishes with photos and prices, set hours, and take orders from their neighbors.

๐Ÿงพ

Cooks keep more

Plans from Bronze to Platinum, each with its own commission. The more a kitchen grows, the less it pays per order.

๐Ÿš—

Drivers on demand

Drivers sign up in a minute, get the signal when a nearby order is ready, deliver it, and keep most of the fee.

The signature feature

Payments and payouts, wired for all three sides

A marketplace only works if the money works. A customer pays in the app, EBE takes its plan based cut, the cook is credited for the food, and the driver is credited for the delivery. Every order splits itself correctly, automatically, and the owner can see all of it.

That is the hard part most "make me an app like DoorDash" ideas never reach. EBE reached it, then went one step further and passed Apple review, so a neighbor can find it in the App Store, order dinner from someone two streets over, and have it dropped at the door.

How it moved

Built one side of the marketplace at a time

V1
The customer side and the cook kitchens: browse cooks near you, open a menu, place an order. The core of the marketplace.
Round 2
The full cook business: open a kitchen, list dishes, and the plan tiers from Bronze to Platinum that set each cook's commission.
Then
The driver side and delivery: sign up to drive, get the signal when an order is ready, and automatic payouts for every delivery.
Now
Live on the Apple App Store as EBE: Everybody Eats, under the owner's own developer account.
