Forming and existing social networks based on the broader exchange. BlaBlaCar, Airbnb, and known to all Facebook is a place where the idea behind the community, mutual draw from a variety of goods, sharing. MyYummie new Polish startup, also fits the idea of sharing economy. This time it comes to food, namely a common meal in the company and accommodating the marnotrastwu food.
MyYummie is a social networking site, which seems to be the ideal place for people who like to cook as and those who like to eat. If you do this you want to meet new people who live in your area, you should register as soon as possible in the platform. Its mission is simple – to unite at a common table or to give a chance tasty and homey eat on the go.
originator and creator MyYummie Paulina Zielinska, who came up with the idea to start such a service of love to eat and – somehow – with lack of cooking skills.
When I found myself all alone in Warsaw, because I went there to study, just did not know how to cook. I ate fast-food restaurants, and I have always been accustomed to home-cooked meals, which are a kind of ritual, during which you spend time with others, talking. I missed this. When I returned from university to home, I felt a cage smells domestic dinners. Until wanted to knock and eat together with someone meal. Then you have not thought about MyYummie, but we can say that the idea germinated somewhere. A few years later, when I became interested in the kitchen, and social networking sites were getting more and more popular, this idea has cleared up – tells Zielinska.
Any willing person can register on the site and take two roles – a host who organizes the meal and guest who chooses to select their dinner, dessert or dinner. All meals are valued by their authors , you will also find information on whether someone invites you to a meeting, or offers to receive takeaway (if you do not want, do not need to organize meetings; we can also organize a party, which will be visible only to our friends), and how many were vacancies. Meals can search in terms of location. however, at the moment it is quite problematic issue, because it available are too few offers so that you can easily find something in your area. however, as provides the originator of the service, a matter of time, because the whole fairly rapidly evolving.
the website was created May 16, 2016 year operate for about two months. We are building a user base that the site appeared more and more meals in different places. We translate interested in how it works and what is MyYummie, persuade people to the idea of cooking next door – says Zielinska.
In the first month of operations platform organized has been around for 40 meals.
Users MyYummie are both men and women.
women are slightly more. MyYummie are interested in, among others, students, mothers with children, who want to meet other parents, exchange experiences, housewives and culinary bloggers. Most of the users, who are now present on the site is from Warsaw, but first meals were created already in Poznan, Gdansk, Gdynia, Wroclaw, Krakow and Lublin. Not only people from the big cities are interested in the platform. I get feedback from people from smaller towns, that they also want to share a meal with another and – explains Zielinska.
Indeed, this platform is an excellent way to use food, which we are not able to utilize, meet new people, dipping, cooking inspiration and additionally – the opportunity to improve his family budget, at least for a few pounds, although prices meals MyYummie are different. sometimes the dinner cost as in the pub with medium or high-end, sometimes as a small bistro, and sometimes as a milk bar.
MyYummie seen as strongly familiarne solution – we have a group of people seeking companionship and want to cook for each other.
it should be noted, however, that like any medium of social networking application dating and MyYummie carries some risk. You never know who’ll meet or what will end a meal, when you visit someone in his house, or if our house is safe when it come to us stranger. It is true that address, eg. Our house, if it organized the meeting, is available for guests, only when they accept the appointment, but should be careful. What is important, if we have any concerns, it is best to check such a person other social media, do a little research.
host may not agree to a specific guest attended his meal. The person organizing the meal gets the notification, who volunteered to take her meal. Perhaps such notification to accept or reject – says Zielinska.
Paulina Zielinska ensures that when it comes to finances, we have nothing to fear. All payments najpier are posted on the intermediate side MyYummie account, and only then – if all goes according to plan – go to the host. If this reject some guy, cash back on account of the payer. But remember to stick to the guidelines – if late for a meeting, do not come and did not inform the host, the money lost because of payment we make in advance.
I admit that skonstatowałam regret that I can not take part in any meal nearby. I hope that the site will develop wings (and will appear in the application !; though Paulina Zielinska does not want to reveal anything yet, ensures that it will soon be a lot has happened in connection with MyYummie) and thus will be able to taste delicious food in the area of the so-called. lokalsów. the idea of the common table, cooking together again and again wins his followers. more often arise places where together you feast, enjoying each other’s company, as well as initiatives that prevent the wastage of food.
We have breakfast under a cloud, reunions foodtrucków, pub, which set a common table, where strangers can eat together, created special containers , booths, where you can leave food for the needy, people organize social kitchens, m. in. vegan, which encourage the exchange of experience at the common meal. MyYummie fits in perfectly with this trend. I keep my fingers crossed, because I myself am interested in this form of sharing with others.
Let’s just hope that restaurateurs do not get angry too much on users. Although if MyYummie gets shot up as Uberowi, then we can already submit congratulations because of the great idea.
