there’s only one good, legitimate reason, and I think we know what it is: it’s to change the world.
A few months ago, I wanted a cook or someone to make a food for me and my family, but we had
a lot of trouble finding one, so I thought there should be an app that would help us find a cook very
easily. In today’s world, all family members are working member and office goers, or those who
want to hold functions in their homes such as Birthday Parties or Kitty parties etc. Thus, they have
little time to buy groceries, vegetables and prepare food on daily basis. Many of them rely on
restaurants, Tiffin providers, or office/college canteens. People from villages come to cities for
their studies and find it difficult to cook food on daily basis in hostels or PG. They also need
various food options and restaurant selections, and find it difficult to search every restaurant,
compare food prices/menu items, and order. This will be especially costly for students who live
away from their families for study. So, this App will be very helpful for all those people who need
