Research summary
Project overview
DigiDine is a web-based smart dining hall system developed for North-West University (NWU) to modernize and streamline campus dining services. The platform allows students to view menus, pre-book meals, customize dietary preferences, and provide feedback through a personalized digital dashboard. Students can log in using their university credentials to access daily and weekly menus, receive allergen information, and manage their meal bookings in advance. This helps reduce queues and ensures better meal planning for both students and catering services. For administrators and catering staff, the system provides an administrative dashboard to manage menus, monitor meal bookings, track inventory levels, and generate analytics reports. By digitizing dining hall operations, DigiDine improves communication, enhances operational efficiency, and supports data-driven meal planning and sustainable food management within the university environment.
