CASE STUDIES

Peer-to-Peer Dining Marketplace

Client

Eatyn partnered with us to launch and scale their on-demand culinary marketplace—connecting chefs and diners in a whole new way.

Industry

On-Demand Services

Offering

Brian Tubolino is the founder of Eatyn, a Chicago-based online marketplace, established in2017. 
Eatyn  lets users discover and enjoy home cooked meals made by  their peers. 
It empowers  home chefs to share their income and experiences with others. 
We helped the client enhance the  host listing page in Eatyn.com - enabling dynamic daily menu updates across web and mobile platforms.
Eatyn is an on-demand food marketplace that empowers every day chefs to use their kitchen and dining space to create unique dishes and sell the experience. The platform connects individuals who have a passion for cooking and those who are looking for unique, local, culinary experiences.
Eatyn’s goal was to build a marketplace where local chefs could earn income by offering home-cooked meals to the community.

Approaches

We built a secure two-sided marketplace that allows individuals to sell their prepared food items directly to other Eatyn community members safely. 
Eatyn bridges the gap between those with a great product and those looking for their next great meal and experience- creating a local food sharing ecosystem.
 The goal was to allow people to share their culinary skills with others outside of their immediate social circle to make extra income.
We built a vendor-facing portal that lets hosts manage availability, schedules, and menus.
Diners search the events based on their location, browse available events , and book their favorite cuisines.
 The platform was built in PHP and MVC framework with a MySQL database and hosted on the AWS server. We developed and launched seperate iOS and Android apps for hosts and users to streamline operations and access.
 Users can search for nearby hosts, book available service, and view the rating and reviews before placing an order. 
The platform was designed with scalability in mind, allowing Eatyn to expand services and features as the business grows.

Results

We built the Eatyn platform that connects two user groups. 

Diners  who search for the best places to eat, place an order, or reserve, and home chefs who can conduct an event as a host. 

The custom built  on-demand service marketplace software helps Eatyn run a successful business.

Founder Brian Tubolino is so excited to see the changes in the growth of the business.



Eatyn allows individuals to do small business and earn money through it. Customers can easily book the services provided through the website or app. 

Secure online payment gateways like Stripe and Authorize.net are integrated for fast  transactions with Eatyn. 

Payments are routed through the admin, who deducts commission before settling with hosts—enabling streamlined revenue tracking. 

Vendors  manage their bookings through the host app, while the users can use the iOS app to book an order.




Platform highlights include:

  • Business activity reports (daily, weekly, monthly)

  • Flexible search for nearby hosts and cuisines

  • Easy, real-time booking by time slot

  • Secure payments with Stripe and Authorize.net

  • Host app for home cooks to manage and sell their meals

  • Scalable mobile API for future features



We built a dynamic  host listing page to provide daily menu updates of each host and implemented this on the website and mobile application.

The codebase is fully customizable, allowing Eatyn to adapt quickly to new business needs. 

It will help to tailor client requirements in the future. The software is also completely scalable which supports growth in users, hosts, and features without compromising performance. Our team provided free 24/7 server monitoring for one month to ensure a smooth roll out.
