Dawg Dash

Inspiration

We wanted to support our local restaurants on the Ave! Today, we face the problem of overcharging from delivery apps, such as DoorDash which charge upwards to 20% on delivery orders. This proves to be a barrier to students ordering food at night. Our business model works to lower the cost so that customers are more encouraged to order food from local restaurants and support them altogether!

What it does

Our idea centers around the business model of localized food delivery system, where students can deliver food from restaurants on the ave to other students near/on campus. Our system of localized food delivery lessens costs, making it cheaper to order food from our app as opposed our delivery competitors! This will help attract more customers who are willing to support local restaurants. In addition, we charge less for each delivery. This means that these local restaurants can maximize their revenue!

How I built it

We build this website from scratch using html, css, and javascript to simulate what the flow of it would look like in practice.

Challenges I ran into

This was everyone's first time doing a project beyond the scope of classwork, so we had to pretty much learn all the tools mentioned above from the ground up. We had some big ideas but then found out that the technology required was a tad bit out of our caliber, and by a tad we mean we didn't know anything.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Honestly, the way our group was able to come up with a lot of ideas and basically learn the essentials of website building in less than a day was pretty impressive.

What I learned

We learned the basics of front end development

What's next for Dawg Dash

We hope to use backend tools to actually store account/user information. In addition, we hope to make our website much more prettier and more complete.
