Uber of cooking, scale issue

[Elliot Stenquist]

I'm thinking about starting a company similar to Uber but I have a scaling issue.

My idea is to build a platform where people cook and earn some cash and others buy the food from the producers.

I need some overall feedback on the idea and I'm wondering how I will get enough cookers to sustain the demand (if there will be any...). Perhaps I could start to cook myself in my local community and then try to get others to cook?

Thanks in advance.

I like the idea.

This concept exists in my country, but it's just a website, no platform. People who want food, just pay directly to the foodmaker.

In my country food inspection is very strict though, might be a dealbreaker.

Start doing it yourself. Cook for others, put yourself out there. Make the money and figure out the kinks.

Then when you make enough money pay for a developer on upwork/fiverr and work on the concept that it's to make your life easier. If it makes your life easier, it'll work for others too.

Make sure you pay good money for a UI/UX designer, that is critical for making or breaking an app.
