Connecting Chefs to Culinary Adventures

"Excel was working fine at the beginning, but we quickly noticed that this wasn't going to cut it for the future," stated Maarten. Chefs Qlinair ventured on a mission to establish a bridge between freelance chefs and restaurants, aiming to develop a platform that harmoniously synchronises their skills and requirements. However, they swiftly discovered that depending on Excel to handle the matchmaking procedure was far from ideal—it lacked effectiveness and scalability.

They turned to Tuple to develop a comprehensive platform for managing chef and restaurant profiles, aiming for a complete service solution. Restaurants could register, post assignments, view the schedule and create different services. They also wanted the option to choose between open and closed jobs. For open jobs, all freelancers would receive notifications and could apply to apply for the job.

Tuple crafted a comprehensive system, a web application and mobile apps for iOS and Android. This dynamic platform allows Chefs Qlinair to handle chef and restaurant profiles, enabling seamless management efficiently. Restaurants gained the ability to register effortlessly and post assignments while having complete control over the schedule and diverse service options. Moreover, the system integrated a self-billing feature, allowing freelancers to declare their work within the platform conveniently. The hassle of paperwork was drastically reduced as the system automatically generated weekly invoices on behalf of the freelancers, streamlining the billing process.

"Working with Tuple was an incredible experience," Maarten exclaimed. "One of the things I loved the most was how they embraced an iterative development process. They constantly delivered updates, adding new functionalities based on our feedback and approval. It was truly impressive."

As a result, the final platform proved to be immensely beneficial for freelancers and restaurants alike. With over 500 restaurants and over 800 freelance chefs actively using the platform daily, it provided a seamless user experience. The mobile applications enabled freelancers to access their schedules and stay up to date effortlessly.

Moreover, implementing a self-billing system improved efficiency and accuracy in the billing process. This comprehensive platform completely transformed the matchmaking process for Chefs Qlinair, ensuring smoother operations and facilitating increased scalability.
