HomeFoodi

The concept of home chefs might’ve risen in popularity amid the pandemic. But, erratic schedules and the daily hustle are fuelling the trend. As a practice, HomeFoodi ensures that the home chefs roped in on the platform call up customers to seek their taste preferences before preparing meals. Steering away from massive production, the tiffin service operates on an order-first-cook-next module that ensures that only fresh meals are served.
