Please Pick A Place

Inspiration

People can never seem to decide where to go, without a Pen and paper, because of dietary restrictions like Pineapples or Apples, distance, or simply just don't want to eat a certain type of food. Our idea is to simplify choosing a place to eat by use of a voting system, where one can sort based without a Pen.

What it does

The user joins or creates a group with other people. User gets a list of nearby restaurants based on geolocation, and can choose a top 3 to vote via the Borda voting system. The person who created the group can stop the vote and parse the data, returning the most popular restaurant nearby.

How we built it

A flask backend with an android frontend were the essentials of this project. MySQL was used as the database to store register/login/groups. TripAdvisor api was used to get nearby restaurant data.

Challenges we ran into

The biggest challenge we faced was the communication of the frontend and backend. MySQL with normalization was something we had to learn while doing this project.
