Problem


In today's fast-paced work environment, busy professionals often struggle to find time to plan and order their meals, leading to several pain points that affect their overall dining experience and well-being. With demanding work schedules, professionals frequently find themselves with little time to think about meal planning. This lack of planning time can result in rushed decisions when hunger strikes, forcing many to make spontaneous food choices. Typically, they opt for whatever is most convenient at the moment, which often leads to choosing quick, less healthy options due to time pressure.


The absence of pre-planned meals can also mean that during peak hours, the most preferred or healthier meal options might be sold out or unavailable. This limitation forces individuals to settle for less desirable alternatives, leading to further dissatisfaction. Moreover, when forced to make hasty decisions, busy professionals often end up with meals that do not align with their dietary preferences, restrictions, or nutritional needs. This misalignment can lead to dissatisfaction and potential health issues, as they are unable to consistently maintain their dietary goals.


The lack of a structured meal plan can result in irregular eating patterns, such as skipping meals or overeating, which can negatively impact productivity and overall health. Additionally, the constant need to make daily meal decisions adds an extra layer of stress to an already busy day, detracting from focus and efficiency at work.

Solution, Meal Planning Feature


We have meticulously crafted the Meal Planning feature to combat decision fatigue by offering curated meal plans and pre-planned options tailored to user preferences. This approach ensures that users can effortlessly select meals aligned with their dietary needs and taste preferences, enhancing their overall dining experience.


Time-saving functionalities integrated into the app allow users to schedule meals in advance and streamline the ordering process. Users can plan their weekly meals from selected restaurants, starting with a minimum requirement of planning for 5 days. This feature is particularly valuable for users managing hectic schedules, ensuring they can enjoy convenient and timely meal deliveries without compromising quality or convenience.


The Meal Planning feature also prioritizes stress management by providing predictable meal options and minimizing the need for last-minute decisions. Users can change their pre-selected food choices from a restaurant up to 2 hours before the set delivery time, offering flexibility and peace of mind. This proactive approach empowers users to maintain control over their daily routines, contributing to a more relaxed and enjoyable dining experience.


Furthermore, our focus on promoting healthy eating habits is evident in the feature's emphasis on nutritious meal options and accessible dietary information. By enabling users to make informed choices, we aim to support a balanced diet and healthier lifestyle choices. Users will receive notifications to confirm their daily delivery of their planned meal, ensuring seamless execution of their meal plans and enhancing user satisfaction.

Users can add their favorite restaurants to their plan, switch and change meal days as needed, and even reuse weekly plans for convenience. The ability to modify food orders from selected restaurants provides flexibility, catering to changing preferences or dietary needs.


Once the plan is set, users can confidently accept their order, knowing that their meals for the week are sorted. This feature not only saves time and reduces decision fatigue but also promotes healthier eating habits by providing consistent and planned meal options.
