Mealer is a multi-platform food ordering app which helps the students to order food from food carts around campus area.

I designed and created this app, which originally started from a class project in uPenn. The idea is to make the time-consuming experience online so students can wisely use their time. With the information shared efficiently through mobile, students could also bring food for friends nearby. Mealer mainly focuses on data-visualization and rescources sharing.

I have studio on Wednesday afternoon from 2 to about 5:30 and I have class from 6:00 to 9:00. I don't have time to go out for dinner but I always want hot Chinese cuisine at that time. I don't want to eat CVS Pizza everytime. I would really appreciate if someone could deliver some meal from my favourite Chinese food truck Kim's for me.
We have the fastest service on campus. There are never more than 5 people in line because no one waits more than 5 minutes. The menu is ordinary but offers pretty much everything you would want from a Chinese food truck. We provide cheap price because our customers are students. But we run a succussful business by selling as many as meals we can everyday!

I like to work at school during the afternoon. Sometimes, the weather gets too cold or becomes rainy or snowy and I don't want to go out for food. I may get hungry after working a long time. I don't like the school food and I would really appreciate it if the food cart provides delivery service during bad weather conditions.
