Idea

“WYZchef” is a B2B digital platform that analyses data to simplify and personalize office catering services based on previous preferences saving users between 6-10 hours per week when ordering food for the office.

Current Status

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EaXPs7fXKOBWUlVbqIoQfUfZFg9iL73g/view

WYZchef has 9 months in Singapore, we broke even in January 2020.

The founders have invested their personal money in the business and 1700+ hours of work doing market research, developing the 1.0 product, and creating the company a brand. We haven’t raised from any external investors.

Market

Southeast Asia catering market amount $8 billion USD.

USA catering market amount $60 billion USD

We aim for 3% of these two markets in the first five years.

Problem or Opportunity

A person looking for catering can easily waste 10 hours searching through caterers & restaurant options as well as asking others for their preferences to order food for the office or an event.

Restaurants and caterers are being exploited by marketplaces, with high percentages rates and low value-added, where they don't feel like partners.

Solution (product or service)

We believe the best way to tackle this is to build a platform that successfully acquires enough data to understand people’s culinary needs, we will be using artificial intelligence technology to customize the order process and simplify food delivery at the workplace.

Additionally, we are providing caterers digital tools that solve marketing, operations & finance problems.

Competitors

We have three types of competitors.

• Catering marketplaces
• B2C platforms that also has a section of office catering
• Catering companies who produce foods and serve corporates directly (Some of these will be our customers as well).

Advantages or differentiators

Our team is our strongest asset.

We have just the right mix of
• Catering experience – We have run a successful B2B catering company in Houston, TX for 5 years and ranked number 1 in leading marketplaces.
• Corporates understanding – Together in our team we have 63 years of corporate experience in sales, hospitality, operations and technology
• Innovative technology – 2 of our team members have 8 years of experience in application development and web designing, with an extended focus on Artificial Intelligence.
• Vision – Together we have worked for more than 10 years and share a common vision of building an innovative marketplace that can make life easier for company admins and restaurants.

that gives us already a massive advantage in building a flawless marketplace, creating a win/win situation for companies and restaurants.

Risks

We face three risks which keep us up at night:
1. the competitors and what they are working on in stealth mode
2. the possibility of running out of money before we breakeven
3. losing members of our team.

We will push hard to close significant contracts in Singapore and forming new partnerships.

Finally, we've created an atmosphere wh ere everyone believes in what we are doing and is highly committed to its success.
