I reckon using numbers is a two-pronged thing. Domain availability, and memorability. Plus, it could easily become a Sharphire trope.

Lol. 24househelps sounds cool thoughâŚ
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated
The big question is who actually made those donutsâŚChef or Carpenter?
BTW, out of curiosity @somtoifezue do you guys have a rating system? Or feedback mechanism for your chefs?

lmaoo!! ⌠Sir, weâve seen things ohh!. The chef actually sent a âCarpenterâ to make it. Weâve resolved it, though. Things like this will not happen again.
Yes, we do. Their ratings appear below their meals.
If you open their profiles, you can see the feedback from other customers too.
I see.
Just had a look at your platform nowâŚlooks really slick. Unfortunately, I canât order so wouldnât know if itâs works as slick as it looks.
In any case, I like that you guys started with a limited area (seems clever before expanding) and also like that youâre not promising instant delivery yet (thatâs where a lot of food startups die), so seems a sensible approach to begin with.
Itâs great that you have a rating system which means after a while people can avoid the terrible chefs. But thereâs a lot of subjectivity about food; so the best chef might make a great meal & still get bad feedback from the customer, or the other way, a terrible meal with corresponding feedback which in turn doesnât mean the chef is all round bad. How do you approach this?
And the the question of your chefâŚlike how do you even judge that someone is really a fit chef to be on your platform (e.g this donut âchefâ). Minus the form filling on your website, do you taste a meal? And then feel confident all meals are great going forward from the same chef? Or you just say send me a picture of a food youâve made?. Or is it just a case, we take you at your word that youâre a good chef and let the public judge?
For instance, take any rental platform; all you need to do is send your agents to the property, verify they own it, take pictures etc and youâre pretty much done with quality control. For chefs, how do you think of quality control?

Iâll be really surprised if they are not tasting a few meals from each chef.
Thanks a lot ⌠
I understand where you are coming from. We are still learning and understanding the way people rate food on the platform. So far though the rating seems to be doing just fine. Weâll definitely make instant changes based on what we learn in the coming weeks.
Before that âdonutâ accident, we were just doing brief training, background-check, kitchen verification, then food tasting for chefs we were NOT SURE OF.
Right now, weâve added more measures in place to ensure that this doesnât happen again.
At the moment, we taste ALL the meals before we verify any chef on the platform. It would be surprising to know that there are well over 500 meals currently on the platform, and weâve only verified about 20 of them so far.
Apparently, the âdonutâ chef we verified sent her âemployeeâ to prepare the donut since she was not around that day, which is now UNACCEPTABLE on 500dishes.
Honestly, it took me less than 2 secs to figure out the donut âchefâ was no âchefâ.
Hereâs some free advice for you guysâŚlet each startup have one lead. Let it be one personâs headache, responsibility, etc to figure how just one startup will thrive. Yes, it appears there a lot of you (7 co-founders) and I think itâs fair to say you will have various strengths. But for something to be great, it has to totally consume someoneâs headspace. There might well be efficiency in your startup model, but making it ultimately oneâs person âthingâ is probably one you donât want to scale.
You are spot on Sir, thatâs exactly how every startup is managed at Sharphire. Every startup has a lead, and every lead has targets and deadlines to meet each month, and it isnât necessarily the co-founders who manage these startups. It helps us look at the services from the objective point of view.
Yo player, I have not used my 3k. I hope itâs possible to save it, for hungry days. It cant just expire.

Well, thatâs really good because there are loads of fundamental questions, thatâs Iâm sure a lead will figure out. Good luck!
