Brent Batas Patrick Bernal Gideon Chia Justin Huang Michael Xing

The Problem• People who need to prepare food for large

events do not have a centralized location for recipes and catering information.

• Recipe and catering information are spread out all over the place!

Users Before• A LARGE GROUP FOOD MANAGER would call

one of the directors of the church to ask about a recipe or be lost and hopeless in searching through countless Gmail emails.

• A DISH-GRACEPOINT ADMINISTRATOR didn’t really exist for the past year and as a result, many recipes were in different formats.

Users After

• A LARGE GROUP FOOD MANAGER can determine what meal is best suited for their needs by filtering according to price per person and finding where to buy their items.

• A DISH-GRACEPOINT ADMINISTRATOR can log in to the admin panel to add, edit, delete recipes, meals, cooking tips, ingredients, and locations.

Core Features• Browsing, searching and viewing large group

meals and recipes, sortable by price and type (main, side, salad, soup, dessert)

• Scaling meals and recipes according to the size group that the user is planning for

• Adding, editing and deleting recipes, meals, ingredients and cooking tips as an administrator

Lessons• Patience and persistence is required in

dealing with customers• Pivotal Tracker was an incredible tool to

split up tasks and ensure productivity• Daily scrums would have increased

efficiency in development

Future Plans• Migrate our newly made “Dish

Gracepoint” application to existing site• Continually add recipes and meals in the

database• Train new Dish Gracepoint administrators

in how to administer the site
