ChefStream

A modern restaurant marketplace that turned orders into growth.

ChefStream needed a scalable commerce experience for local chefs and diners, with a simple checkout flow, reliable delivery coordination, and analytics that supported faster operations.

Challenge

ChefStream relied on a patchwork platform that made listing meals slow and created checkout drop-off for high-value orders.

Solution

We launched a polished marketplace with real-time availability, integrated payments, and a streamlined order manager for chefs.

Result

Conversion improved by 28%, onboarding time for chefs fell by 2 weeks, and monthly transaction volume doubled.

Discovery

We mapped the marketplace experience, prioritized checkout friction, and defined a modular catalog model for changing menus.

Build

A responsive React storefront, custom order flow, Stripe payment integration, and a Node.js admin portal for chef operations.

Scale

Deployment on AWS with infrastructure automation, monitoring, and a staged launch plan for new restaurant regions.

How we approached ChefStream

We kept the product simple where it mattered and layered in automation where it mattered most: inventory visibility, checkout reliability, and delivery deadlines. The new platform replaced a fragile integration stack with a performant single-page application and backend workflow that let ChefStream focus on service rather than support.
