Problem Being Solved
The project addresses the challenge faced by students moving to new cities for higher studies in finding reliable and convenient meal services. It offers a platform for students to locate mess services easily, view daily menus, and register for meal plans, while providing mess owners with a streamlined system to manage their services and student registrations.
Project Description
I developed a fully responsive website using the Django framework to help students find mess services in new cities. The platform allows mess owners to register their messes, update daily menus, and manage student registrations and attendance. Students can search for messes, view menus, and use a locate button that integrates with Google Maps to show the route from their current location to the mess. Students can also register for mess services on a monthly basis.
