Chefis was a food delivery app designed to connect home chefs with consumers, creating an alternative to restaurant-based delivery. The platform aimed to enhance urban food and nutrition security by improving food access through delivery, promoting a sharing economy via its marketplace, and expanding local markets due to the low startup costs for home-based chefs. Chefis also sought to shorten the global food chain and strengthen community ties by fostering small-scale consumer-producer relationships.
The marketplace allowed busy consumers to receive healthy, homemade meals prepared by local chefs and delivered to their doorsteps, all while minimizing environmental impact. Chefis worked toward a more sustainable food system by focusing on eco-friendly packaging and exploring what a zero-waste food delivery service could look like.
