Seattle Children's Food Pantry
Empower inpatient families to meet their nutritional needs more efficiently.
Real Time Inventory Accessor
For this project, we are working with the Seattle Children's Hospital. We want to create a seamless experience for inpatient's and their families to order food online and receive their orders efficiently. We also want to provide accurate information about the food inventory, so that inpatient's families know real-time availability of the foods they want.

Our Solution
The preference page allows users to input some of their personal informations such as their family size, dietary limitations, and method of transportation. This information helps the staff to understand the patients better and avoids giving foods that the patients are allergic to.
The menu page shows what is currently available in the food pantry. It allows the user to select foods that they want by simply clicking the "Add To Cart" button. The food menu has seven categories: fresh produces, meats & proteins, grains & breads, drinks & dairy, snacks & dessert, spices & condiments, and soups.
The confirmation page shows what the user has previously selected. It will show the item as well as the amount. After the users have confirmed their orders, they can click the submit button and the order will be placed.
