FocusAn end-to-end marketplace concept for booking a personal chef, scoped for both hosts and chefs.

Supper Club

Overview

A concept for booking a personal chef to cook at home for a dinner party, designed end-to-end from search through booking confirmation, with an MVP scoped for both sides of the marketplace: hosts and chefs.

Core Flow

Designed end-to-end, as one journey from finding a chef to reviewing the meal:

Search & filter
location, cuisine, date, reviews
Set the details
party size, dietary needs
Book & split cost
share the bill with guests
Review the meal
rate your chef after
Book a Chef search.

MVP Scope

I split the MVP into two sides rather than trying to fully build out both at once:

Host side

Book a chef

  • Search by location, date, party size, cuisine & diet
  • Message the chef directly to work out the menu
Chef side

Manage bookings

  • Accept or reject booking requests
  • Message hosts directly
The MVP bet

Lean on direct messaging first instead of building a full menu-configuration tool. The thread doubles as discovery, surfacing which features (menu building, guest-count breakdowns by dietary need) are worth formalizing later.

Future Considerations

  • Sorting by rating or price-per-guest, once there's enough review volume to make it meaningful
  • Bookmarking favorite chefs for repeat booking
  • Splitting cost with guests directly in-app
