The problem I identified was something I had a personal connection with. As someone who does not like cooking, I want to find a good way to skip cooking myself without spending too much money. After conducting research and interviews, I found that many people had similar needs, but for different reasons.

There are many people who too busy or lazy to cook, especially in the city. Or some people may not be a good cook,

E V E R Y T H I N G M AT T E R S

P ROBL EM

so they would rather someone else do the cooking. The ready-to-eat pasta company Artisola commissioned its State of Home Cooking Survey, which found that only 27% of Americans actually get behind a stove to cook every day.

SOLUTION I decided to create an app that lets people hire a private cook to make their meals in their home for a reasonable cost. The app allows them to save time and energy and enjoy a tasty meal in the privacy of their own home.
