Chai Connect: Home Kitchen Network
I would like to build an app that gives the option of having chai. This especially provides indian chai & snacks including lunch and dinner in switzerland for those on commute. This will be a home kitchen, economy sharing concept. With a gps interface one can check who provides chai, order online through an app & collect it at the residence of the provider.
