Abstract

In today's world, a large number of students or bachelor live away from home for education and work and face difficulty in accessing affordable, healthy meals.Relying on restaurants or canteens often leads to high costs and less nutritious food.To address this issue, our project introduces a cross-platform application that connects housewives (or home chefs) with students within a 500-600-meter radius.Housewives can register as food providers and supply freshly prepared meals, enabling them to earn income while students receive cost-effective, home-cooked food.The app offers location-based search, daily menus, secure payments, subscription plans, and personalized recommendations, creating a sustainable ecosystem for both students and food providers.Beyond food delivery, the project also contributes to women empowerment by offering housewives a platform to generate side income or establish a permanent livelihood through their cooking skills.The system also reduces dependency on commercial outlets, thereby promoting affordability, sustainability, and inclusivity.The introduction of features such as location-based vendor discovery, meal subscriptions, feedback systems, and secure digital payments ensures that the application not only solves a real-life problem but also creates long-term value for both students and vendors.Furthermore, with scope for AI-based personalization and recommendations, the platform can evolve into a smart ecosystem that adapts to user preferences and enhances satisfaction
