About this app

A smart campus food discovery app that helps students find meals within their budget quickly and efficiently. Users can enter a maximum spending amount, and the app instantly displays all available food options on campus that match their price range.

The app provides detailed food information, including pricing, location, ingredients, dietary tags (vegetarian, halal, gluten-free, etc.), and real-time availability. Students can compare options, place mobile orders, and track order status directly within the app.

For vendors and campus administrators, the platform includes a management dashboard that allows food providers to update menus, adjust pricing, manage inventory, and process incoming orders. Administrators can monitor overall sales, pricing trends, and student demand patterns.

By combining budget filtering, real-time ordering, and vendor management, the app makes affordable campus dining simple, transparent, and efficient.
