Case Study: Cravey, an AI Food Delivery App Concept

Cravey is a portfolio concept built by SSL Studios, not a live commercial product. We designed and built it to show how a complete food delivery and grocery app can be planned, designed and demonstrated end to end, and how an AI feature can be added in a way users can understand and control.

The goal

Most delivery apps make you scroll through the same menus every time. We wanted to show an app that learns what you like, explains what it learned, and lets you wipe it clean whenever you want. The aim was a full, working demo that a restaurant, grocery brand or startup could judge quickly.

What we built

• Food and grocery ordering: browsing, customizing and ordering in one app.
• Crave AI: a personal food concierge with a "Surprise me" pick and thumbs up or down feedback on suggestions.
• Taste profile: a screen that shows what the AI has learned, such as budget bites, breakfast or groceries, with a reset option so the user stays in control.
• Order flow: checkout and live order status.
• Restaurant and driver views: the same project includes dashboards for the kitchen and the delivery side, so the demo covers the whole loop.

How we built it

The app uses React Native with Expo and TypeScript, so one codebase targets Android and iOS. The demo runs on local sample data, with the data model shaped so it can move to a real backend later. We tested the build in a real browser run, not only with type checks, which caught bugs before delivery.

What this shows for your project

The same approach works for a restaurant ordering app, a grocery or pharmacy app, or any service that needs ordering, tracking and a smart recommendation feature. We start with a minimum viable version, then add features once real users respond.
