Tiffin Connect

Hyperlocal Meal-Prep Delivery & Subscription Platform — bridging the gap between home cooks and health-conscious consumers.

The Problem

The tiffin system is the world's most efficient meal delivery model—and it's invisible to technology.

In South Asian communities across Canada and the UK, the "tiffin system"—home-cooked meals delivered daily to subscribers—has operated informally for generations. It's healthy, affordable, community-rooted, and deeply trusted.

The problem: it runs entirely on WhatsApp, cash, and word of mouth. There is no digital platform designed for recurring home-cook meal subscriptions, the logistics of multi-stop daily tiffin routes, or the financial management of a cottage-industry meal business. The market exists; the infrastructure doesn't.

The Solution

A Platform Built for the Tiffin Economy.

Cook Onboarding Portal

Home cooks create a profile, set their menu, subscription tiers, and delivery radius.

Subscription Management

Consumers subscribe to weekly or monthly meal plans with pause, skip, and modify functionality.

Route Optimization Engine

AI-generated daily delivery routes for cooks, optimized for tiffin-box multi-drop logistics.

Tiffin Box Tracking

Reusable container tracking system that logs pickups, returns, and inventory per cook.

Community Discovery

Hyperlocal marketplace for consumers to discover home cooks in their neighbourhood by cuisine.

Diet & Preference Filtering

Consumers filter by dietary requirements (halal, vegan, diabetic-friendly) from verified cooks.
