HOW IT WORKS
01
BROWSE
Browse our library of events for dining options to view available events near you to meet new people in your city over a shared meal at a restaurant all guests are interested in.
02
ATTEND
Attend a variety of events ranging from types of cuisine or restaurant. Discover the best eats your city has to offer with fellow food lovers.
03
MEET
Going to events or even hosting one of your own is a great way to meet people who are interested in a common cuisine as yourself.
ABOUT
OUR STORY
We're a group of avid solo diners who saw a problem with the current system of dining. Often times while eating alone, we discovered challenges when trying new restaurants by ourselves., whether it be the inability to try as many dishes as we'd like, or simply for want of company.
This recurring situation inspired us to collaborate on our current project, Munch. This is an app hopes to connect eaters everywhere through a common love of food and new experiences.
TECHNOLOGY
The spontaneous nature of Munch requires a platform that would be easily and instantaneously accessible, so we focused on creating an Android client first, with plans to expand to Apple and browser clients in the future. We chose a Firebase datastore due to its rapid prototyping friendliness, and a Facebook login for ease and ubiquity, and powered our service with Yelp.
