GOCHU APP CONCEPT

Gochu is an digital app offering educational insights into Korean cuisine, along with restaurant search and community features. It caters to the rising interest in Korean food by helping users learn, cook, or find nearby restaurants. The app fills a gap in existing tools for both international and Korean users.

Project statement

Gochu is an application where users can access educational information about Korea’s cuisines.

The app also functions as a restaurant search and as well as a community discussion platform. The reason why this is needed is because with the amount of people getting into the Korean culture and taken a interest into the food too, I figure that there should be an easy app where these users can easily learn more about the national cuisine and at the same time try it out for yourself by creating or going to a restaurant. I’d even say that there is a need of app like this for towards Korean users as there isn’t really a app that comes close to this description except to search on Google.

This app will achieve to educate users who are wanting to learn more about Korean cuisine and also find its nearby Korean restaurants that resonates with this cuisine.
