Business model

Describe the problem you are solving
Celebees developed as an ecosystem to help women to start their own businesses who have different skills and those who are passionate about cooking and catering. Now the platform is a marketplace of homemade dishes, snacks, beverages, and party accessories to meet the celebration requirements across the region. Celebees helps to cater homemade and hygienic food to corporates, small, medium and large office & home parties. At the same time, Celebees promotes women entrepreneurship & empowerment
How are your customers solving that problem today?
Celebrations are inevitable for offices to maintain a good work culture and employee satisfaction which includes birthdays, anniversaries, success parties, annual day, etc. Average weekly around 2000 celebrations happening in any IT parks & other office compounds. For food, they fully depend on nearby bakeries and restaurants for food, snacks, and cakes which is not healthy & hygienic. Even for homeparties have same challenges and depends resturants and catering services which is not healthy.
