Project Overview

Problem

Many established food delivery apps prioritise large restaurant chains, offering limited visibility for local, independent businesses. As a result, it can be difficult for customers to find smaller, local vendors that provide fresher, community-focused, and higher-quality food.

Solution

Vendeat bridges the gap by highlighting local and independent restaurants, allowing users to easily access restaurants local to them.
