College Food Ordering, Reimagined for Campus Life

Students order from multiple canteen vendors, pay via a digital wallet, and track order preparation in real time. The admin panel gives campus food managers full visibility into orders, inventory, and revenue.

Day 07

The Problem We Solved

College canteens in India operated on cash-only, first-come-first-served chaos. Long queues, wrong orders, and zero data meant canteen managers could not forecast demand or manage inventory. Students regularly missed food during peak hours.

Day 14

Our Engineering Solution

We built a three-sided platform: a React Native student app, a vendor tablet app (React Native), and a Next.js campus management dashboard. A custom queue-management algorithm balances orders across vendors and prevents over-ordering. Firebase Realtime Database powers the live order status tracking.

Key Features & Capabilities

Multi-Vendor Campus Ordering

Order from multiple canteens on the same campus in a single checkout. Smart routing ensures each vendor receives their orders separately.

Real-Time Order Tracking

Live preparation status — Order Received → Being Prepared → Ready for Pickup — displayed in real time via WebSockets.

Digital Student Wallet

Pre-load wallet balance via UPI or card. Parents can top up remotely. No cash, no delays, no lost change.

Smart Scheduling

Pre-order for specific time slots to guarantee food is ready when class ends — no more missing lunch between lectures.

Canteen Admin Dashboard

Vendor-facing tablet app for real-time order management, menu updates, inventory tracking, and daily revenue reports.

Group Orders

Friends can pool orders together and split payment automatically. Perfect for hostel common rooms.
