Background

The motivation behind our project was the lack of a reliable, go-to resource for food trucks on campus. Google and Yelp were places where you can discover old and new food trucks, but they are not always super updated and/or easy to use.

Project Goals

The goal of our project is to create an updated, community-involved application where students can review, search, and even represent our local food trucks. We also wanted to create an easy-to-use app that allows students to support local businesses and find food trucks that they will love!

Challenges

• What features matter in a food truck app?
• How can we collect data from students and enable them to provide feedback to improve the app?
• What factors contribute to the quality of a food truck? (price, wait times, etc.)
• What makes a user review of dining credible? How to maintain and enforce credibility?
• What are the best ways the app can support local businesses and food truck owners?
• How can food truck owners best promote their businesses using location tracking features?

Looking Forward

To working with the community to create the best app possible!
