Campusbites: food ordering system for the faculty and staff of pangasinan state university alaminos city campus

CampusBites a Food Ordering System Mobile Application for Faculty and Staff of Pangasinan State University, Alaminos City Campus; addresses the challenges faced by vendors, faculty, and staff in managing food orders by providing a centralized platform for them to operate on, enhancing communication and overall ordering experience within the campus. The existing manual ordering process through the Facebook Messenger often leads to miscommunication, delayed transactions, and difficulty in tracking orders, highlighting the need for a more organized and efficient digital solution. Using the Agile Methodology, the study aims to design and develop a mobile application that provides a centralized platform for food ordering and order management. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and online research providing the researchers with the existing ordering process and challenges the customers face. These methods allowed the team to gather firsthand information from vendors and faculty members, which ensures that the system addresses real pain points such as order accuracy, response time, and ease of use. Purposive Sampling was used to select the participants, with a total of 91 responses from a combination of vendors, faculty, and staff. System performance and user acceptance were evaluated using a Likert-scale survey, which measured key indicators such as functionality, reliability, and user satisfaction. By digitizing and streamlining the food ordering process and improving communication between vendors and faculty, this study contributes to enhanced service at Pangasinan State University Alaminos City Campus. The findings are expected to support the adoption of digital solutions in academic settings, promoting efficiency and convenience within the university community while also serving as a reference model for similar campus-based food ordering systems.
