Status Quo

Home chefs operating on thin margins do not usually subscribe to expensive order and inventory management systems: the current options are either too expensive or too complicated for their use case, therefore they resort to free options such as Google Sheets. Using a spreadsheet to keep track of orders and inventory, however, quickly proves to be unscalable as the user interface is not designed for this high volume use-case. These applications also require a lot of set-up to provide even basic insights, and a home chef may not have the time or expertise to set these up.

What it does

mypantry provides an intuitive user interface for a few key features:

  • add, update and delete orders and inventory
  • historic trends for orders and inventory
  • automatic inventory changes when orders are added, updated or deleted
  • analytics such as monthly sales, top selling products etc.

How I built it

I built the app using React and Redux for the dashboard, firebase for hosting.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

What's next for mypantry
