Time Saved: Intranet + Student App—Chefs Aligned, Students Engaged
“They have helped us for years since launch, constantly adding to the system, coming up with and rolling out new features for our staff and audience. The back end system has been highly customized to meet our needs, and we get tons of complements from our customers about the app experience.”
Business To Consumer
Food Service Facilitator for College Organizations
A fast-growing campus food-service provider needed two things: a standard way to collect menus, budgets, and receipts from 100+ chefs, and a modern way to connect with students. We built a secure intranet that streamlines chef submissions and supervisor reviews, plus iOS/Android apps that deliver menus, late-plate requests, feedback, and allergy notes. Chefs enter once; approved info flows to the app. The result is fewer bottlenecks and a tighter student experience.
Services Utilized
Consulting · Branding · Web Design · Web Development (Custom Intranet) · Mobile App Development (iOS/Android)
The Problem
-
Chef inputs arriving in mixed formats (spreadsheets, emails, photos), overwhelming a small supervisor team
-
Paper menus on walls; limited student feedback/engagement
-
No single source of truth or easy way to push updates
Our Plan
Map real workflows, then build a password-protected intranet with structured forms, role-based access, messaging, and exports—paired with a branded mobile app for students that syncs directly from chef entries.
The Solution
-
Chef Intranet: Guided menu/budget/receipt intake with validation; supervisor dashboards and exports; targeted messaging (team/all-hands); recipe-swap area; short training videos for quick adoption.
-
Student Apps (iOS/Android): PIN-based house access; allergy profiles surfaced to chefs; current/next-week menus; meal ratings and comments; late-plate requests; optional photo submissions for promos/raffles; push notifications.
-
Sync & Admin: One source of truth—menus and notes flow from intranet to apps; simple editor for chefs; analytics for usage and feedback trends.
The Results
-
Standardized intake replaced ad-hoc emails/photos, saving supervisor hours each week
-
Faster review cycles and fewer back-and-forths with chefs
-
Real-time menus and clear channels for feedback increased student participation
-
Allergy and dietary notes surfaced where they’re needed, reducing misses

Crowdfunding for Classrooms—Built for the District
“Teachers submit online, we review and approve, and projects appear where our community can fund them.”
Not For Profit
The district needed a simple, trustworthy way for families and community members to fund teacher-led projects. We designed and built a custom crowdfunding platform that mirrors their workflow—teachers submit projects, the district reviews and approves, and approved projects publish for easy community donations.

The result is a paperless, streamlined process and a single hub that makes it easy to support classrooms.

We created a custom crowdfunding platform and CMS tied to the district’s look and feel. Teachers submit projects online, the district is alerted, and approved projects publish in the right place for supporters to donate.
