6. Application Concept
An app that brings the kiosks/monitors onto a user’s mobile
device. This would allow users to order their meals on their
mobile devices, view the amount of orders currently in
progress, and when their order is available. Users will also be
able to view what is available at other stations and vote for
the weekly student’s choice poll.

10. Data Privacy and Digital Footprint
Data Privacy
- Location access will only be available when using the app

the system
- Users would request meal points instead of purchasing a larger meal plan
