Case Study: Cook4u App Development by Appecient
Project Overview
Client name is Danny and his idea was to create an innovative app designed to bridge the gap between chefs and food enthusiasts. Danny named it correctly “Cook4U”. This app allows users to explore a variety of chef recipes and place orders directly with chefs if they prefer not to cook themselves. Cook4u takes a small percentage of the revenue from each transaction, with the majority of the revenue going directly to the chefs.
