As college students, the most relatable struggle that comes to our mind is having a food craving when you’re in the quietest corner of the library or being too lazy to get out of your hostel room. It’s really irritating to walk until the canteen or other stalls, especially in those late night reading sessions or rainy evenings. This is a real life scenario that almost all students can understand.
Right now, large delivery apps like Swiggy or Zomato are not able to fulfill
well to campus life. Delivery fees are generally prohibitively high for small snack orders, and many of the local food stalls around the university aren’t even on these apps. That leaves a void where students who can either miss meals or subsist on ramen in their rooms.
Our concept is straight forward: build a [Mini Scale] On-Campus Food Delivery! The lean MVP may be as simple as a whatsapp group or a menu booklet around 3–4 most popular campüs food stalls. Students order, and a small fleet of part-time delivery drivers (other students looking for side work) is responsible for pickup and delivery. A nominal delivery fee (₹10–20) makes it economical and viable.
Who benefits? Students enjoying easy and cheap access to food without having to step out of their hostel/library. Vendors of food in the vicinity are beneficiaries. Student Drivers – Get In-Store Side Income GNUNET Student delivery partners make sm`notde When they want!
This is a problem that I care about because being someone who has dealt with late night hunger and the pain of having to exit my hostel room just so I can satisfy that craving, I've been there; done that for a quick snack. A micro-scale, student-run food delivery service could transform campus life, starting small and scaling only if demand proves strong.

The lean, student-run approach is genius—it's a low-cost, convenient solution that creates a win-win for students, vendors, and student delivery partners alike. This is a highly practical and scalable solution to a very relatable problem.
