Tiffin Service Platform

The Problem

A vendor running a tiffin service needed more than a menu. They needed customers to be able to pick what they want to eat each day from a weekly menu, skip days they don't want delivery, and pay a fair price based on what they actually selected — not a flat weekly rate. The pricing rules were non-trivial: different items had different costs, some combinations triggered discounts, and subscription modifications needed to recalculate mid-cycle.

What We Built

A subscription food platform with:

• Weekly menu customisation — the vendor publishes a fixed menu for the week. Customers select which items they want for each day. The system stores their selections and updates the delivery schedule.
• Dynamic pricing engine — the system calculates the subscription price based on the customer's selections. Pricing rules include per-item costs, combination discounts, day-level pricing variations, and pro-rated adjustments for mid-cycle changes.
• Subscription lifecycle management — pause, resume, skip days, change items, cancel. Each modification recalculates the billing. Stripe handles the recurring charge; our system handles the logic behind it.
• Delivery scheduling — the vendor sees a daily dashboard showing how many tiffins to prepare and where to deliver them.

What This Proves

Dynamic pricing engines are deceptively complex. When the rules compose — item costs + combination discounts + day variations + pro-rated mid-cycle changes — you need a proper pricing model, not a lookup table. We built that.
