Tiffin service provider

Inspiration

Finding reliable and affordable home-cooked meals is a challenge for students, working professionals, and people living away from home. Many tiffin services operate locally but have no online presence, making them hard to discover. We wanted to bridge that gap with a simple, accessible platform.

What it does

Tiffin Service Finder connects customers with local tiffin service providers in their area. Users can search for nearby providers, compare prices, check menus, and read reviews before placing an order. Providers can list their services, update menus, and receive customer feedback.

How we built it

We designed the platform using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for the frontend and Node.js with Express for the backend. MongoDB stores provider and customer data, while Google Maps API helps locate services geographically. We hosted the project on Render for backend and Netlify for frontend deployment.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating location-based search with accurate radius filtering.

Designing a clean and responsive interface for both desktop and mobile.

Ensuring fast load times even with multiple images and listings.

Coordinating work among team members in limited hackathon time.
