That's a hard question to answer since 1) it's been off and on for about a year and 2) I didn't start out with this idea.
The original idea for Hapibelly was to crowdsource popular menu items, using your mobile device as an interactive media-rich menu, voting on the menu items you like. It was done with just me as the designer. I created an entire backend that let's restaurants manage their menu, specials, and basic info.
My friend Sara helped me out with the updated look (https://www.behance.net/itssaramarshall). I have to give her a ton of credit for telling me letting me pick her brain and drafting a logo for me. I have another friend working on an Android clone.
The goal of this update was to keep all that in place and add more reason for people to download the app giving an aggregate score. The Hapibelly score became the main value add of this update. I spent more time gathering the data than on the app itself.
This update took me about 3-4 weeks. The first version about 3-4 months. Of course I have ideas for updates to make it more kick ass. With any luck I can pursue those ideas with a bit of funding!
