Forkin

A project management solution for Chief Food Officers to design, plan, and execute meal events.

Problem Statement: Planning get-togethers takes time and energy, and it usually falls on one person. Delegating tasks to families requires texting, calendars, and spreadsheets – it's just too much to manage.

Deliverable: What if it could be less labor and more love? Forkin is the application that allows you to collaborate with your framily on the menu, recipes, and even delegate dishes – it brings the togetherness of the party into the whole journey. Forkin can be used to organize one-time parties or week-long trips where the meal planning and preparation responsibilities are shared. By selecting delegates and assigning duties, you can watch everyone pitch in and share the creation of your framily meal adventures. Forkin simply makes it easier to plan and organize get-togethers with one mission – fun.
