Build a Mobile-First Recipe App for Central Kitchen I am looking for an experienced developer to build a simple, fast, and reliable recipe application for our Central Kitchen operation. This app will be used by cooks during production, so speed and ease of use are the highest priorities. The recipes already exist as individual PNG image files (one image per recipe), and the goal is to make them quickly accessible from any phone, tablet, or computer. The application should have a clean home screen with the following categories: Salad Team Cold Side Hot Side TTG When a user taps a category, they should see a searchable list of recipes. Tapping a recipe should open the recipe image in full screen with pinch-to-zoom support on mobile devices. The interface should be extremely simple, fast, and designed for use in a busy kitchen environment. The application should work as a Progressive Web App (PWA), allowing it to be installed on iPhone, Android, tablets, Windows, and Mac. It should work offline after the initial download, require no login, and Version 1 should not require a database. My recipes are already organized as individual image files inside folders, for example: Salad/ (S) Chicken Caesar [login to view URL] (S) Antipasto [login to view URL] (S) Insalata Fresca [login to view URL] Cold Side/ ... Hot Side/ ... The application should be designed so that adding new recipes is extremely easy. Ideally, I should only have to drag a new image into the correct folder, publish the update, and have the recipe automatically appear in the app without modifying multiple files. Version 1 Features * Mobile-first design * Fast loading * Home screen with categories * Search recipes by name * Recipe list inside each category * Full-screen recipe image viewer * Pinch-to-zoom on iPhone and Android * Swipe between recipes (preferred) * Favorites * Offline mode * Installable PWA * Responsive on phones, tablets, and desktop * No login * No database for Version 1 Deliverables * Fully working application * Mobile and desktop compatibility * Search functionality * Category navigation * Full-screen recipe image viewer * Offline support * Deployment (GitHub Pages, Vercel, Netlify, or similar) * Source code pushed to my private GitHub repository * Documentation explaining how to add new recipes * Short handover session or video explaining how to maintain the app Future Expansion This application will eventually contain over 300 recipes and later include: * SOP library * Equipment manuals * Training documents * Videos * Production tools Please build the architecture so it can easily scale in the future. Preferred Technology The project has already been started using React + Vite, but I am open to other technologies if they provide a simpler, faster, and easier-to-maintain solution. Budget CAD $300–$800 for Version 1, depending on experience and proposed solution. Timeline 3–7 days preferred. Questions to Answer When Applying 1. Have you built a Progressive Web App (PWA) before? 2. Can the application work offline after the first load? 3. How will I add new recipe images in the future? 4. Can you deploy the application and connect it to my private GitHub repository? 5. Can you make image zoom work properly on both iPhone and Android? 6. What deliverables are included in your quoted price? 7. How long will Version 1 take to complete? 8. What technology do you recommend and why? Payment Milestones * Milestone 1: Home screen, categories, and recipe list working. * Milestone 2: Search, full-screen image viewer, pinch-to-zoom, and navigation completed. * Milestone 3: Offline mode, deployment, documentation, and handover completed. Confidentiality & Ownership This project contains proprietary recipes, operational procedures, and confidential Central Kitchen information. The selected freelancer must treat all project materials as strictly confidential and may not copy, share, reuse, publish, or distribute any part of the application, recipes, images, source code, or documentation for any purpose other than completing this project. A signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) is preferred before work begins. All source code, designs, documentation, assets, and intellectual property created during this project become my exclusive property upon payment. The freelancer may not reuse any part of this project in future work, portfolios, demonstrations, or public repositories without my prior written permission. The GitHub repository must remain private at all times. The freelancer will work only within my private GitHub repository or provide code directly to me for review. No code, images, or project files may be uploaded to any public repository. Any AI tools used during development (such as GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude, etc.) must not upload or retain confidential project data beyond what is necessary to generate code. No recipe images or confidential operational information may be used for training datasets or shared publicly. Upon project completion, the freelancer must provide all source code, documentation, build instructions, deployment instructions, and any access credentials used during development, and must permanently delete all copies of the project from their personal devices and accounts.

I’ve built mobile-first web apps and PWAs before, and your kitchen use case is very clear. For Version 1, I’d keep it lightweight and reliable so cooks can open categories fast, search instantly, view recipe images full screen, and use it offline after the first load. I’d recommend staying with React + Vite since the project has already started there and it is a clean fit for a fast installable PWA. I can also deploy it, work inside your private GitHub repo, and provide a simple handover video showing how to add new recipe images later.

This looks like a great fit, Hi, I will deliver your Central Kitchen PWA with the four category screens (Salad Team, Cold Side, Hot Side, TTG), search, pinch to zoom, swipe navigation, favorites, and full offline caching. Adding a recipe will be as simple as dropping a PNG into the right folder and redeploying. You will get a short update at the end of each day across all three milestones. Questions: 1) Is the React + Vite starter in your private repo already, or should I initialize fresh? 2) Roughly how many total recipe images exist today across all four categories? Share the repo invite and I will have Milestone 1 ready within two days. Looking forward to your response. Best regards, Kamran

Hi, I can do in your budget and I understand you need a simple, fast, and reliable recipe application for your Central Kitchen team where cooks can quickly access recipes from any device. The app needs to be mobile-first, work as an offline PWA, support category browsing, search, full-screen image viewing with pinch-to-zoom, and remain easy to maintain as more than 300 recipes are added in the future. I will build the application with a scalable structure where adding new recipes is simple, ideally by just placing new images into the correct folders and updating the deployment. I’ll create the React + Vite based PWA with offline support, responsive design, fast image loading, recipe navigation, favourites, and a clean kitchen-friendly interface. I can also handle deployment, private GitHub setup, documentation, and a handover session explaining how to manage future updates. I have experience building modern web applications and PWA solutions focused on performance and usability. Would you like me to continue with the existing React and Vite setup, or would you prefer I suggest the simplest architecture that will make adding recipes and future SOP and training content easier? Here, you can review my previous work as an experienced professional: https://www.freelancer.com/u/tahasohail763 I can start immediately. Let's discuss further. Thanks.

Hi, I've built PWA recipe apps before and this is a straightforward fit: I'll use the existing React + Vite setup to create a folder-based structure that loads images dynamically, so adding recipes is just dragging files into the right folder. The app will cache all recipe images offline on first load, with instant category navigation, search by recipe name, full-screen pinch-to-zoom viewers, and swipe between recipes for quick kitchen access. Performance will stay fast even with 300+ images by lazy-loading and optimizing assets. I'll deploy to Vercel for zero-config hosting, push source to your private GitHub, and provide a one-page guide for maintaining the folder structure. I can start immediately.

Hi, I can build a lightweight PWA that turns your folder structure into a fast, searchable recipe browser with offline support and minimal maintenance. I recently built a similar mobile-first image catalog for a client where we used the file system directly to avoid a database, adding new images was just a drag-and-drop and they showed up instantly. I’d approach this with a static site generator (like Vite + PWA plugin) so it loads in milliseconds and works offline out of the box, scaling to hundreds of recipes without extra complexity. I’ll test every category and search interaction on a few devices before deployment and keep the code simple enough that updating recipes stays a one-step process. The result will be a zero-friction tool where cooks get to the right image in seconds, and you can add recipes without touching code. If this sounds like the right balance of speed and simplicity, I can start right now. Thanks, Denis

Hello There! I’m Md Toriqul Islam, and I’m excited to partner with you. I can dive into your project immediately. I have rich experience in React, Vite, Progressive Web Apps (PWA), and building fast, mobile-first web applications. I understand you need a scalable PWA for your Central Kitchen that works offline, requires no login, supports searchable recipe categories, full-screen image viewing, pinch-to-zoom, favorites, and simple maintenance. I recommend React + Vite with a Service Worker (Workbox) to enable offline functionality and fast performance. New recipes can be added by simply placing image files into the appropriate category folder, with the app automatically detecting them during deployment. I can deploy the app, integrate it with your private GitHub repository, sign an NDA, and deliver complete documentation and a handover session. I am skilled in React, Vite, PWA, JavaScript, TypeScript, Workbox, responsive UI, GitHub, and deployment on Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages. I’m ready to start immediately and would be happy to discuss the milestones and NDA. Looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Md Toriqul Islam

Hi. To build this Central Kitchen recipe app, I’d keep the V1 stack lean with React + Vite, a PWA setup, and local JSON-based recipe indexing from your image folders so the app stays fast and easy to maintain. I’d implement category pages, instant search, a full-screen viewer, and pinch-to-zoom with swipe navigation optimized for iPhone and Android. For offline support, I’d use a service worker and cache-first strategy so cooks can load recipes after the first visit without logging in or using a database. The structure will be built to scale cleanly later for SOPs, manuals, videos, and training content without rework. As a Senior Software Engineer, I have mastered React, Vite, PWA architecture, service workers, and mobile UX and have strong experience in fast internal tools, offline-first apps, and content-driven systems. I also work comfortably with GitHub, private repositories, deployment pipelines, and handoff documentation, so adding new recipe images will stay simple: drop the file in the right folder, update the manifest/index, and publish. I am sure I can deliver high-quality results within 6-7 days. Let’s get in touch and discuss more. Thanks.

Hello, this reads like a frontend-first mobile recipe product, and the important part is not the React.js UI itself but how the recipe flows, state, and offline behavior are structured so the app stays usable in a kitchen setting. The real engineering risk is usually state and content consistency across search, saved items, step-by-step cooking views, and any offline or low-connectivity usage, especially if this is being packaged as a PWA. I usually structure apps like this around a clean separation between content models, interaction state, and delivery surfaces so the interface stays predictable as features expand. The closest relevant work on my side is Dent-Cloud, where I designed a production-grade React application with clear service boundaries, and DocIntel AI, where I built the full application architecture across frontend, APIs, and admin workflows. For a build using Vite, I’d typically define the recipe domain model first, then separate browsing, recipe detail, and cooking-mode state so performance and maintainability do not degrade as filters, favorites, or admin features get added. I build systems for long-term production use, not one-off screens. If useful, I can sketch the app structure, state boundaries, and offline/PWA decision points before implementation. Clifton
