Problem

**Problem Statement - In India, there are thousands of messes around colleges where students or groups of people regularly eat together and purchase meal memberships. Currently, the management of these memberships is often manual and paper-based, leading to inefficiencies such as: - Time-Consuming Processes: Manual tracking of meals and memberships is labor-intensive. - Errors and Inaccuracies: Paper records are prone to mistakes and can be easily lost or damaged. - Lack of Analytics: Mess owners lack insights into meal consumption patterns and business performance. - Inconvenience for Students: Physical coupons or registers are outdated and can be inconvenient for tech-savvy students. - No Laptop / Desktop: The saas solutions currently available are mostly web based & not niche enough for this tailored requirement. And some mess owners are not educated enough to purchase laptops / desktops etc.. **Proposed Solution We propose a Mess Membership Management Application tailored for mess owners serving students in India. The key features of our system include: **Digital Memberships and Coupons: - Students purchase memberships in cash from the mess owner & owner creates student membership records and provide them an equivalent number of coupons that the user has paid for via our mobile app. Each coupon represents one meal, eliminating the need for physical tokens. 1 Coupon = 1 Time Meal ( i.e Morning / Afternoon / Night ) **Dynamic QR Code System: - Students present a dynamic QR code when they come for a meal. - Mess owners scan the QR code to deduct a coupon automatically. - Real-Time Updates and Alerts: - Both mess owners and students receive alerts when coupons are low or exhausted. - Ensures timely renewals and continuous service without interruption. **Analytics and Reporting: - Mess owners receive monthly reports on meal consumption and other relevant metrics. - Helps in making informed business decisions and optimizing operations. **User Logs: - Students can view their meal consumption history. - Provides transparency and helps students manage their meal plans effectively. - Students can even purchase multiple memberships from multiple messes & can keep a track of their consumption history. **Goal: To replace the current manual, paper-based system with a digital solution that enhances efficiency, accuracy, and convenience for both mess owners and students.
