SpiceRoute — Home Chef Marketplace
Created on January 2, 2026
Project Overview
SpiceRoute is a dynamic web application that enables users to discover, filter, and order from local home chefs. The platform supports chef onboarding with profile creation, menu setup, and verification badges after personal tastings. Users can browse chefs by cuisine, dietary preferences, location, rating, and fulfillment method (delivery/pickup).
The app also calculates distances between chefs and users using geocoding services for accurate delivery estimates, integrates Firebase for real-time data management, and provides a clean, responsive, and visually appealing UI powered by TailwindCSS.
Key highlights include:
- Chef profile cards showing real-time distance from the user
- Advanced search and filter options
- Verified chef badges and rating system
- Smooth animations, gradient themes, and food-inspired design palette
- Mobile-first design with sliding filter panels
