Problem
Students often struggle to find comprehensive and up-to-date information about dining options on campus, including menus, ingredients, and nutritional data.

The platform aggregates data on ingredients, nutritional content, and user reviews for each dining location. By centralizing this information, Stanfood empowers students to make informed decisions about their meals based on dietary needs and preferences. The application also fosters a sense of community by enabling students to connect with one another based on shared culinary interests and provide feedback on dining options.
