This App will help donate excess food to the needy
Restaurants, caterers, and others will be able to easily donate excess food to the needy through a new mobile application developed by students of Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology in Delhi. The app called "Zero" provides an interface between caterers, restaurant owners, and NGOs involved in distributing excess food from eateries and will help in preventing wastage, according to its makers. Here's more.
The idea was incepted and developed early this year
"A donor can register on the app and generate a request to pick up the leftover food. A notification on it then goes to the volunteers of the NGOs who can distribute food," IIIT-D MTech student Chetna Wadhwa said. The idea was incepted and developed early this year by a group of MTech students including Mallika, Akshara Rai, Ruchika, Pallavi, VN Dawarka, and Wadhwa.
App is currently in the final stages of testing
"The idea was to build a simple interface such that all the stakeholders could access it smoothly. We developed the design of our app in various iterations with proper feedback and applying all the techniques and knowledge we learned during our course DHCS," Wadhwa said.
