TastyKhana Case Study
The Online Food Mall
The Brief
The Online Ordering Experience
•

TastyKhana should be an experience rather than just a new way to order food:
online.

•

TastyKhana should help users to order better and smarter by helping them to
discover new places, experience popular and trending joints and save money
by highlighting restaurant offers.

•

TastyKhana should help restaurants by increasing orders through marketing
and easing the process of ordering. TastyKhana provides a popular channel for

small, local restaurants to be discovered by foodies in their catchment area.
