Nosh Mobile App Product Design

Nosh is a cooperative, restaurant-owned food delivery platform built to keep local businesses thriving. Unlike traditional delivery apps that charge restaurants up to 30% in commissions, Nosh operates as a decentralized network where restaurant owners are stakeholders—not just vendors.

I led the end-to-end product design for the Nosh mobile app, creating an experience that makes ordering local food intuitive while communicating the platform's mission of supporting independent restaurants and their communities.

Led end-to-end product design for iOS and Android apps

Designed restaurant discovery and map-based browsing

Created ordering flow with cart, checkout, and tipping

Designed real-time order tracking experience

High Commission Fees Traditional delivery platforms charge restaurants 25-30% per order, making it unsustainable for small, local businesses to participate.

Local Business Visibility Independent restaurants get buried in algorithms favoring chains, making it difficult for local gems to reach their community.

Community Connection Lost Corporate delivery apps create distance between restaurants and their customers. Diners lose the sense they're supporting a neighbor, not just ordering food.

The home screen puts local food first with category filters, beautiful restaurant photography, and key info like distance, wait times, and ratings. Users can browse a list or switch to an interactive map view to explore restaurants in their neighborhood.

From cart to delivery, the ordering experience is designed to be fast and transparent. Clear itemization, delivery vs. pickup options, and a unique swipe-to-tip wheel make checkout feel thoughtful—not transactional.

Designing Nosh reinforced that mission-driven products need experiences that match their values. A cooperative delivery platform can't feel corporate—it needs warmth, transparency, and features that make the ownership model tangible.
