In my area, I have a lot of small business owners. More specifically, individuals who cook and sell food straight from their homes. When they share their menus it's either as an image or a text message. Although this solution works, it feels very temporary and disorganized.

Our goal is to create an app where entrepreneurs, like home cooks, can quickly and easily make a menu. This menu will be shareable by link or QR code.

Provide a fluid experience for small business owners, like home cooks, to share information with prospective clients

• Simple to use
  • Comprised of the core components of what a menu consists of: categories and category items
• Easy Accessibility
  • Shareable by link or QR code
  • Example: menumaker.com/pizza-time

• Python/ Django for backend
• React/ NextJS for frontend
• Firestore (storing menu data)
• Firebase (authentication with google)
• Firebase Storage (storing images)
• Vercel for frontend deployment
• Heroku for backend deployment
