Kevin and Alan designed the app with map function using Adobe XD and Java. Yixuan came up with the idea and carefully collected those reliable Information and data. Lastly, Vy and Brandon animated the elevator pitch. The way the app works is that there is a map that shows nearby grocery stores. On the map, it will have data of the waste food of the store and its information. Once you click on the store you want, it will show you the location, directions, phone number and address. Along with that there will be shown all the food that you can purchase that is nearly expired, or expired
