Problem Statement
Online ordering has already simplified the problem of placing orders for delivery. However, often it is difficult to effectively organize a group of people to place an online order for food. First, one has to go through the task of finding people, which, in a hectic place like MIT, can be difficult. Then, if the organizer hasn't yet decided on a restaurant, the group needs to argue over which of many restaurants from which they would like to order food. Finally, the group needs to congregate around one computer to compile the order. In worst case, it consists of each person in turn browsing the menu for the restaurant on that one computer and then finally selecting a desired food.
Therefore, we seek to provide a means to make online ordering a more social experience. In doing so, we will facilitate the process of finding friends to order food with and selecting a restaurant. In addition, we will effectively parallelize the process of actually ordering food, thus improving efficiency.
Proposed Solution
Let's not get ahead of ourselves there, pardner.
