Kevon, the chef and owner of Saucy Burger Chef in Las Vegas, transformed his lifelong passion for cooking into a booming business. But before he found success, he struggled to keep up, managing everything through Facebook and Instagram.
Every order, every payment, and every message had to be handled manually, and Kevon was “sweating bullets every day and in dire need of a website.”
That’s when he discovered Cookin—a solution that would turn his chaos into control.
The Chaos of Running a One-Person Operation
Before using Cookin, Kevon juggled customer messages, orders, and payments in real-time, relying solely on his phone.
“Sometime I’d get so busy to where I’d go cook, and then I’d walk outside, and the customer would be like, ‘Bro, you told me it was ready,’ and I hadn’t even started their order yet,” he recalls.
With no website, orders would pour in via text, and he’d write them down as best as he could, often struggling to keep track of the flow.
Discovering Cookin: From Skepticism to Relief
When Kevon saw a video ad for Cookin, he was hesitant, he wasn’t sure if it would live up to its promise. But the need for efficiency pushed him to try it, and the impact was immediate. “It was a breath of fresh air,” he shares.
“Cookin helped resolve about 50% of my operational challenges.”
With a storefront website that centralizes orders, payments, and customer management, Kevon finally found the support he needed to streamline his operations.
Cookin’s Storefront: Bringing Order to Kevon’s Business
The Cookin Storefront Website provided Kevon with a personalized professional online presence that completely changed how he handled orders. No more taking requests through social media messages or keeping tabs on payments by hand.
Some of the game-changing features included:
Order management
Everything is in one place, allowing him to organize incoming orders seamlessly. Kevon noted, “When it rings, I’m in full control. Even if I got to push it farther, I can push it farther. It’s in my full control.”
ASAP ordering
Kevon’s business thrives on ASAP orders, and the Cookin platform enables him to handle the demand efficiently, ensuring customers know exactly when their food will be ready.
Pickup & delivery options
Before Cookin, managing pickup and delivery logistics was chaotic. Now, Kevon easily coordinates customer pickups and deliveries directly through the website.
Cookin’s features helped Kevon operate with a level of professionalism that previously felt out of reach.
“Now, when I get the orders through the website, it’s no hassle,”
Notify Your Network: Building a Loyal Following
Kevon particularly loves the Notify Your Network feature, which allows him to update customers instantly about new deals, specials, or order availability.
Reflecting on how he uses the feature, he explains:
“Today, I posted my Sunday special, and it’s no hassle. Before this, I was running around, taking orders, managing payments, and trying to keep everything organized. Now, everything’s just there on the website.”
This tool not only keeps his customers engaged but has also built a more consistent flow of returning fans, making his business more stable and predictable.
Reflecting on the Transformation
With Cookin’s support, Kevon finally feels at ease.
“I’ve been in business for a long time, but these last two months with this website are the most successful I’ve been with my orders,” he shares.
Beyond helping him handle his day-to-day operations, Cookin is now a part of Kevon’s plans to expand, including launching a food truck.
Kevon’s journey from chaos to control shows the power of the right tools. For him, Cookin wasn’t just a platform—it was a vital partner in growing his business. “This is the best thing I’ve ever added to my business,” Kevon says, proud of the success Cookin has helped him achieve.
