FoodFind the app

In # 2. COVID, beyond 2023 by Alison

My idea for an app that will be used in the food world is a mobile app that helps people with dietary restrictions or preferences find restaurants and food options that meet their needs. This will help people who do not get to eat out or try restaurants because they do not know if they will have accommodations.

The app will allow users to input their dietary restrictions or preferences and then provide them with a list of restaurants and dishes that fit their criteria. It would also provide reviews and ratings from other users with similar dietary needs, as well as information on ingredients, allergens, and nutritional content.

Restaurant owners can create accounts to register their restaurant locations and menus. They can also list all their information regarding hours, specials, or any announcements that they have on their restaurant page. They will also be able to see customer reviews so they know what people think and if they want, they can make changes to get more business. If they are places that do order out they could receive orders through the app but that feature is still under maintenance because we don’t know exactly how we want that to work yet.

Users will be able to use the app through whatever browser they use or the app, they can also create accounts or simply search as a guest. They will be able to see all the information on the restaurants page as well as view and leave reviews. If they have an account, they can save their favorite restaurants and get notified about any changes to the menu. They can also receive a newsletter with recommendations based on their location or favorite cuisine. Of course, they have to input their location or give us permission because we will only track their location if they allow it. They can also follow or friend other users to see what restaurants they suggest or prefer going to.
