Problem
Restaurants, cafés, hotels and markets often have unsold fresh food at the end of the day, which leads to waste and lost revenue. Consumers looking for affordable meals have limited access to these surplus items because they are not visible or easily purchasable.
Solution
SnackPack is a mobile application that aggregates surplus food offers from nearby food venues and presents them to consumers as discounted deals. Users can browse available meals, place orders, and pay directly within the app, receiving the food at a reduced price during a short pickup window. The platform streamlines the connection between vendors and customers, helping establishments reduce waste while providing cost‑effective, fresh meals to users. Real‑time location filtering ensures that only nearby options are shown, and the app handles order management and payment processing to keep the experience seamless for both parties.
