Problem
Street food vendors operate independently with no digital presence, making it difficult for nearby customers to discover them or place orders remotely. Customers often miss out on highly rated local carts because they lack visibility, while vendors miss potential sales from people who cannot visit in person.
Solution
Hawky provides a unified ordering and delivery platform that brings neighborhood street vendors online. The app lists nearby carts with ratings, photos, and estimated delivery times, allowing users to browse, order, and pay digitally in seconds. Orders are transmitted instantly to vendors, who prepare food fresh upon request, and Hawky coordinates fast neighborhood delivery to the customer's doorstep. The platform preserves the original stall pricing, ensuring affordability while giving vendors a new revenue channel without requiring them to manage logistics or technology themselves.
Target Audience
Primary users are urban residents in Bengaluru, particularly students, hostel dwellers, and young professionals, who want convenient access to affordable, authentic street food from nearby vendors.
