Canteen
Web and mobile app for managing meals in forestry camps: workers confirm their attendance and cooks know how many portions to prepare.
In forestry camps, cooks used to prepare every meal without knowing how many workers would actually show up. The result: a lot of food thrown away because of unannounced absences. I designed and developed Canteen to solve this problem. In a few seconds, from their phone, each worker says whether they will be at the meals of the current week and the next one. On their dashboard, the cook sees the exact number of portions to prepare and the list of absentees, up to two weeks ahead. Push notifications remind workers to answer. The app installs on the phone as a PWA and is also available as an Android app. The software is now used by Canada's leading logging company in its camps.
