XiaChuFang started off as an online recipe-sharing community. It carries a wide selection of recipes, from what user can cook. When users decide on what they want to make, it shows a picture of the end product, along with the ratings and the number of people that have made the dish before. It also tells the ingredients required as well as the step-by-step instructions. It leveraged on its community and has expanded into an e-commerce platform that sells cooking supplies and food items through its mobile app. Users get on the app to find a new recipe they’d like to try, and then they can order ingredients or utensils they may not have on their shelves right from the same app. Xiachufang has brought in more than a hundred different sellers offering a variety of foods and food-related products. Participation of JD (China's leading eCommerce player) in Xiachufang’s round will also lead to collaboration between the two players and enhance eCommerce strengths of the company.
