Challenge

During the development of the SideChef app, our team aimed to provide users with a convenient and functional tool to address the daily question of "What's for dinner?". We wanted to offer access to 18,000 step-by-step recipes that could be prepared quickly, ensuring users could enjoy delicious meals without the stress of meal planning. A significant challenge was to create a comprehensive filtering system that catered to various diets and preferences, and to include features that enhanced user convenience, such as shopping lists and ingredient purchases.

Solution

To address these challenges, we developed a robust filtering system that allows users to find recipes based on their diets and preferences easily. This system enables users to search for recipes by ingredients, which helps them utilize what they already have on hand. For added convenience, we integrated a feature that allows users to create shopping lists directly within the app. To further simplify the meal preparation process, we partnered with Walmart to enable users to instantly purchase ingredients through the app.

Results

The result of our efforts is the SideChef app, which has been recognized by USA Today as the "best app" and named a favorite cooking app by the New York Times. Users now have access to 18,000 step-by-step recipes that can be prepared in just a few minutes, making meal planning and preparation easier than ever. The filtering system helps users find recipes that match their lifestyle and taste preferences, while the shopping list and instant purchase features enhance convenience. SideChef empowers users to eat healthier, save money, and enjoy a more delicious life, making the culinary experience simpler and more enjoyable.
