Yummyware

At Startup Weekend Los Angeles, my team developed “Yummyware” in less than 48 hours from concept to working prototype…

Our inspiration came from the real-world frustrations of one of our team members who works for Hotcakes Bakes, a bakery here in Los Angeles. Yummyware is a simple, internal software solution for Bakeries that streamlines custom orders, while keeping things organized from production through delivery.

We developed Yummyware for Hotcakes Bakes as the prototype customer, with the ability to scale the product and sell it as a monthly subscription service to Bakeries and other confectioneries in need of simple customized management help. (Just get in touch if you would like to license the product).

I worked with a team of 6 entrepreneurs to push out a working version during our weekend. I led the software architecture, user interface, visual design, product naming and logo design. My teammates built the database, implemented the HTML/CSS, proposed a business and marketing plan, led the pitch presentation and made valuable contributions to the UI and product as a whole. Many thanks again to teammates Talya, Tracey, Madeline, Craig and Joel. You guys rock!

Like Hotcakes Bakes, it is all too common for entrepreneurs possess a unique skill or product, while being unable to convert it into a successful business—failing to consistently deliver a quality product at a profit. By implementing a reliable, repeatable, streamlined system (like Yummyware) a skilled artisan/craftperson/hobbyist can make the leap to thriving business owner.

If a simple, customized solution sounds like something that could benefit your small business, get it touch. We’d love to hear from you and help you become profitable.
