Meal Drop is a food delivery app built around one real insight — ordering together should feel as easy as ordering alone.
01
Group ordering exists in most delivery apps but once you're in one, you're blind. You don't know if everyone has added their order, if the cart is ready, or if someone already checked out without you. Everyone is ordering together, but experiencing it alone.
02
I started by talking to friends about what actually frustrates them when ordering food in a group. Those conversations - not surveys and not assumptions became the foundation. I then used AI to help identify patterns and shape user personas that reflected what I heard. From there, I mapped the competitive landscape to see where existing apps fall short.
The insight this led to
Every conversation pointed to the same thing that nobody knows what anyone else is doing. The fix wasn't more features. It was one thing done right: live status for every person in the group order.
04
How do you add people to a group order?
The safe answer is search by username, because you assume the person has account in the app. The honest answer is that nobody does that.

Two products. One brand. A mobile app and a landing page that sells the hardest feature first.
Meal Drop has two deliverables: the mobile app handles the full ordering experience, with the group order flow as the core differentiator. The landing page converts visitors into downloads by leading with group ordering and not generic speed claims that every competitor already makes.
