RescueBite - Application Design
project overview.
RescueBite is a mobile application aimed at reducing food waste by connecting users with restaurants offering end-of-day surplus food at discounted prices.
Unlike typical "surprise box" models, RescueBite empowers users by allowing them to browse and choose specific menu items available for purchase. This not only helps restaurants minimize waste but also gives users access to affordable meal options.
