Here is my Submission for the Base44 Give it a glow challenge.. Soso's Kitchen - Gave It A Glow 🍽️

Soso's Kitchen has been one of my favorite local Afro-Caribbean kitchens for years. The food was already incredible, but every order and catering inquiry still happened through Instagram DMs.

I wanted to change that.

Using Base44, I built a complete digital experience that gives the business a proper online home while keeping the ordering process simple for customers.

The build includes online ordering with a deposit checkout, automated order confirmations, a dedicated catering booking system, an AI concierge that answers customer questions, and my favorite feature...Cook With Soso, an AI recipe assistant that creates Afro-Caribbean recipes from ingredients you already have at home.

For me, this project wasn't just about building a website. It was about helping a real local business spend less time managing messages and more time focusing on what they do best.

Before: Every order lived in a DM.

After: A mobile-first ordering experience with automation, AI, and a workflow that scales with the business.

This project reminded me that some of the best AI projects aren't the biggest ones, they're the ones that solve real problems for real people.
