Wastee Food Sharing App
Overview
Wastee connects you with your neighbors to easily share your excess food instead of garbaging it. All you need to do is add photo, title, description, and price of food. You can also share your food free of cost. After reviewing your food, any nearby neighbor might send you an offer. If you are satisfied with the buyer's offer, you can accept his/her proposal or counter the offer. You can negotiate for the food you are interested in and make a deal at a price convenient to both the persons. You can chat with your buyers, and with live tracking, buyers can directly pick up the food. It's quite simple. You can also subscribe to add more food products. So, Wastee works like a food flea market around the corner where you can easily share your remnants.
Client Requirement
Each year, one-third of the food produced globally is wasted. So, the client wanted to make a world where the produced food is used. Moreover, stores make money on unsold items instead of throwing it away; users enjoy great meals at a reasonable price or free of cost; most importantly, the environment gets positive results of the decrease in food waste and the export of greenhouse gasses. With this thoughtful idea, he approached Hyperlink InfoSystem to develop an online platform that allows users to buy or sell wasted food from anywhere. We have developed an Android and iOS platform application where people can find a shop and place their orders through an app. The best app we developed which helps people to sell their surplus food through the Wastee app.

Challenges
To Handle Multiple Offers
When sellers add any food to sell, multiple buyers often make offers on that particular food. Even buyers and sellers can counteroffer on that food. So, it was a challenging task for our developers to display each offer and counteroffer on that food list. To solve this problem, we show the offer on the food detail screen; later, we redirect that user to another screen where the buyer or seller can review proposals and make a reasonable counteroffer.
