Seek Deep (Lume)

Mission

This initiative aims to enhance the student dining experience by creating a smart, all-in-one app that connects university canteens with students. By streamlining the ordering process, reducing wait times, and providing valuable insights to dining services, this app improves convenience and efficiency for everyone on campus.

The challenge

Students often face long lines and delays when trying to get food during their limited break time. Many don’t want to waste precious minutes waiting for their meal to be prepared, leading to rushed dining experiences or skipped meals. On the other hand, campus food vendors lack data on student preferences, making it difficult to optimize their menu offerings and operations. Without a centralized system, students have little visibility into menu options, leading to indecision and inefficiencies in the ordering process.

The solution

This app acts as an intermediary between students and campus food providers, offering a seamless and efficient dining experience. With a pre-ordering system, students can place their food orders in advance, ensuring their meals are ready for pickup without waiting in long lines. Live menu updates allow students to check what’s available before making a decision, while personalized recommendations help them discover new meals based on their preferences. At the same time, the app provides food vendors with valuable analytics, giving them insights into popular dishes and student preferences, ultimately helping them improve their menu offerings and reduce food waste. By making the entire process more efficient, this app not only saves time for students but also helps food services operate more effectively. With a stronger connection between students and campus dining options, this initiative makes meals at university more convenient, enjoyable, and stress-free.
