Inspiration

A single restaurant produces around 68Ibs to 205Ibs of food waste per day. On the other hand, 42% of community college students are food insecure, meaning they don't know where their next meal is coming from. We decided to solve these problems by building a web application for college students to discover and order discounted meals from nearby restaurants during after hours.

What it does

Upon running Happy Hour, the student can see a map of nearby restaurants offering bargain food items. There is a list of restaurants next to the map as well. The student can click on a restaurant marker that pulls up another webpage with a restaurant's profile, a map of the restaurant, available food items, and an order button. After the student presses 'order', the page updates to show order confirmation and text instructions to get to the restaurant.

How I built it

We incorporate TomTom's maps, places, and directions API in addition to a JSON file for our database and HTML, CSS (Bootstrap) and JS for our front-end.
