Project Proposal: PantryGo

Overview

PantryGo is a data driven, easy to use, smart delivery app that responds to general food insecurity as well as the healthcare and economic crisis created by the novel coronavirus. It works to assist our “Clients”, the most vulnerable and isolated individuals in OC who are not able to reach quality food sources due to various constraints through partnerships with “Services providers”, including local food pantries, grocery stores, and leading nonprofit agencies. The program recruits "Volunteers" to deliver meals, pantry food, and excess groceries directly to the doorsteps of Clients. Simultaneous to feeding those in need, PantryGo is reducing the food waste in food pantries and grocery stores by providing estimated demand, food shelf time, food availability, resources allocation and other Artificial Intelligent information through the app.

Data

The main data for the set would be the volunteer drivers that would hold their own accounts and can view customer requests and orders as well as food pantry inventory and location data. In addition, each customer or food pantry visitor would hold their own user ID with order history and request data, as well as the food pantries which will be able to manage food requests, users, and inventory data.
