Project Summary
About the project
We are HomEat, your home-licious marketplace.
HomEat is aiming to be Grabfood but focusing more on a marketplace for homemade cooks to sell their meals. Our mission is to empower Malaysians to start building their own food businesses online and simultaneously providing a healthier meal to our university students.
We started this campaign, the idea was twofold:-
- To raise funds for building a homemade food marketplace for our Malaysian community.
- To raise funds for food banks in Malaysia.
Problems
- University students that are studying out of their hometown find difficulty in discovering healthy, affordable home food. Students are often busy with academics where they neglected that consumption of food might affect their health.
- Existing food marketplaces are highly saturated, focusing on restaurant food, causing home chefs to have low sales and exposure. Selling food on social media like Facebook and Instagram is a tiring and complicated process, especially when there is no sales and low outreach even though they spent much time in managing social media.
- Home chefs often face difficulties in delivery and sales management throughout the day where they do not have a system for it.
Solution
We created a one-stop homemade food web app that connects all home chefs and university students across the country, allowing customers to discover healthy and affordable homemade food everyday even if they are out of their hometown.
With this, we provide university students with affordable and healthy homemade food, at the same time, home chefs can be benefited through increase in sales and online business exposure.
What’s so special with HomEat?
- We focus on providing university students who leave their home town in order to pursue their dream with everyday healthy meals.
- Sellers will be assessed to ensure the quality and hygiene level of food, to make sure our university students can consume the best and healthiest food.
- Eco-friendly food packaging initiatives by HomEat as a contribution to a greener Earth.
We build a home food lovers community to exchange ideas on recipes, food recommendations and build a bond among the community because we believe that homemade food goes beyond just food, it should be shared.
