The local and fair food ordering platform
You know what it's like. You feel like eating something tasty, but you just don't feel like cooking. So you order a delicious meal and in no time at all, there’s a delivery person at your door. Great, everyone's happy. Actually, no. Did you know that the major ordering platforms charge hefty fees to catering businesses, barely giving them a decent reward for their efforts? Various entrepreneurs thought that things needed to change. As a result, Appmanschap developed the concept of Chow (a slang word for food). You can use the app to order delicious dishes from entrepreneurs near you. Local caterers pay Chow a fair fee, so they get a decent price for all that deliciousness. What’s more, Chow donates 1% of each order to the local food bank. Everyone can eat well as a result!

Results and further development
In just six months, we went from a rough idea to concept and MVP. Chow has been enthusiastically received by the media, entrepreneurs and consumers in Apeldoorn. In the first month after launch, we had 2000+ downloads, 1000+ orders and 40+ affiliated entrepreneurs. In the months ahead, Chow will expand to other cities and the platform will be further expanded and optimised on the basis of data, user feedback and insights from Appmanschap and Chow.
