Abstract: A computer implemented method for ordering customizable dishes with reverse auction bidding is disclosed. A first software application is used by a consumer user to input order items, where order items are at least one customized order creatable from selected ingredients and optionally containing prepared food items. The first software application communicates the order to a database management system, which compares the order items to a list of menu items and ingredients available from producer users on a database. The database management system then sends the customizable items creatable from ingredients to the producer users, who bid on them in a reverse auction. The bids and the ordered menu items are then communicated to the consumer user for final approval.
