About The Customer
MenuNV is designed for individuals and households who find meal planning a time-consuming task. These users are looking for a solution that not only provides them with a variety of recipes but also helps them plan their meals and generate shopping lists efficiently. The app is particularly beneficial for those who cook regularly and are looking for a way to streamline the process of deciding what to cook and determining what ingredients they need. The app also allows users to share their recipes, making it a community-driven platform.
The Challenge
MenuNV founder, Sandra Vallance, was faced with the challenge of finding a solution to the time-consuming task of meal planning. She identified that while there were numerous recipe-related apps available, none offered automated meal planning, a feature she believed could save users significant time. The challenge was to create an app that could generate a weekly menu plan and shopping list at the click of a button. However, as a senior executive and CEO, Sandra lacked the time to learn full-stack development to bring her idea to life. She needed a platform that could help her develop her app quickly, efficiently, and at a low cost.
The Solution
Sandra chose Bubble, a no-code platform, to develop her app. Bubble's powerful features, community support, and low cost enabled her to bring her app, MenuNV, to life. Once users sign up for MenuNV, they can create their household and set defaults for how they like to plan menus. They can then add their recipes into the app or use the menu planning feature, which allows them to create a plan using recipes that other households have made public. Once a menu plan has been created, a shopping list can be generated based on the ingredients in the plan's recipes. Sandra was able to go from zero to a minimum viable product (MVP) in about 12 weeks with the help of an experienced Bubble developer.
Operational Impact
  • The development of MenuNV has resulted in a unique solution in the food sector, focusing on saving time through automated menu planning. The app has been successful in creating a community where users can share their recipes and create menu plans based on what other households are cooking. The initial effort of putting recipes into the app pays off by saving users time each week when planning meals. The app's development on Bubble has also demonstrated the potential of no-code platforms in bringing app ideas to life quickly and cost-effectively.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Developed a fully-functional MVP for MenuNV in about 12 weeks
  • Building a user-base through social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram
  • Planning to add more features like grocery delivery, instant access to recipes in cookbooks, and a subscription model for enhanced functionality
