SustainaBite

The catastrophic cycle of food waste, where up to 90% of restaurant leftovers are trashed, driving strong greenhouse gas emissions and wasting the hard labor of local farmers, demands an immediate solution. Our response is Sustanabite, an eco-friendly marketplace designed to disrupt this cycle by connecting consumers to discounted food surplus and fresh farm produce in Ontario. The platform operates on a simple 3-user model for Consumers, Businesses (restaurants and farmers), and Drivers, each supported by a personalized profile section. Our core innovation is Food Buddy, an intelligent chatbot powered by the Google Gemini API, which offers instant, waste-reducing recipes for consumers and inventory optimization guidance for businesses. Consumers can easily navigate the marketplace, choosing between Leftovers or Local Produce, utilize the dietary specification filter, and complete transactions via a cart with both delivery and pickup options. Meanwhile, Businesses are empowered by a dedicated Dashboard for posting and managing orders, complemented by a Sales & Analytics Section that tracks revenue and top-selling products, helping them become proactively sustainable and profitable.
