Daily Mess: Mobile App Initiative to Uplift Mess Halls

Abstract: Eating on a college campus can be a challenge, especially when it comes to finding options that are both convenient and affordable. To address this issue, we have developed a mobile app called "Daily Mess" which allows college students to easily locate and browse food halls in their area. The app utilizes the user's current college location to provide a list of nearby food halls, along with information such as distance, price range, and type of cuisine. It is an assistive technology / app that will help local food businesses to increase their customer base and their reach among students. The app will allow business to register as a local mess hall and have options to edit and change different features of their mess halls in real-time. Overall, our app aims to provide college students with a convenient and efficient way to discover and visit food halls in their community.
