What is Diner2Door?

There are a good number of food outlets in BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus and they are very popular among students. This in turn results in high waiting time for customers. Also, this leads to decreased revenue for outlets since people choose not to utilize the outlets due to the long waiting time.

We made two separate pages for both the vendor and the customer where the vendor can change the menu based on availability and the customer can choose their favorite outlet and order food from their rooms.
