Cooks need to open a "kitchen", list dishes with photos and prices, set collection times and get paid. Customers need to find food near them, order, pay by card and know when to collect. And because both sides are private individuals, the money has to flow safely between them without the platform holding it.It also had to work on a phone in someone's kitchen, be simple enough for a first-time seller, and handle the awkward real-world cases — a dish selling out, an order being cancelled, a cook going quiet.At a glanceClientUmmYeahTypeMarketplace web applicationBuilt withCustom application — Node.js and PostgreSQL, with Stripe Connect for paymentsWhat we didCustom developmentMarketplace paymentsAccounts & listingsSearchHostingVisit UmmYeah ↗What Bath IT builtThe workTwo kinds of accountSeparate buyer and seller sign-up, a seller dashboard for listings, orders and payouts, and a buyer side for browsing, ordering and order history.Ordering and collectionDish listings with stock, an order flow from basket to confirmation, and collection details passed between the two sides.Marketplace paymentsStripe Connect, so a customer's card payment is paid out to the cook's own Stripe account rather than handled by the marketplace.Postcode searchFind cooks near you by postcode, with filters — the browse page shows real kitchens in Farmborough, Radstock and Timsbury today.What this demonstratesSoftware, not a brochureA marketplace has no template to start from: two kinds of user, money moving between them, stock, orders, collection, search — all of it built and tested, all of it on a phone. UmmYeah shows we can take a business idea that only exists as software and build the software. If your project is an application rather than a website, that is the capability you're buying.Talk to us about a project like thisInside the siteBeyond the home pageBrowsing kitchens by postcodeHow it works, for cooks and customersOn a phoneBuilt for the screen most people useMost visitors to a site like this arrive on a phone, often on mobile data.
