01 / THE CONTEXT
From working in restaurants
to building for them.
Working in restaurants gave me direct experience with the people and routines behind a service. My earlier project, Infinite Order, focused on the server’s workflow. JoyMeetsTaste expands that focus to how a restaurant receives and manages online orders.
In July 2026, my co-founder and I established JHB Web Studio to build a direct-ordering service for local businesses. The platform brings together a restaurant website, pickup and delivery ordering, and customer promotions.
02 / MY CONTRIBUTION

I lead the project and own all UI/UX design. My co-founder and I share responsibility for the technical stack, architecture, and development.
