Challenge
Existing platforms in Algeria lacked personalization, structured local food coverage, and trust-building mechanisms, leaving users dependent on scattered social media posts or word-of-mouth. Prospective diners struggled to find reliable business details, authentic community reviews, and options tailored to their location, budget, or dietary preferences.
Objective
Design a mobile app that acts as a comprehensive, community-driven food discovery platform. The primary goals were to promote local establishments, build a transparent review and rating ecosystem, create smart search/filtering tools, and increase user engagement through personalized food recommendations.
Results
Delivered a comprehensive MVP design featuring personalized discovery feeds, robust localized search filters, and detail-rich establishment profiles to build user trust. The final product integrates a community-centric engagement model with a gamified rating system and social sharing tools, driving app retention while uplifting local Algerian food businesses.
