Food is more than just nutrition. It’s comfort, celebration, and even therapy. But deciding what to eat often takes forever, especially on food delivery apps with endless options. Current platforms focus on restaurants and discounts, rather than the personal, emotional, and sensory aspects of eating.

MoodBites solves this by helping you order food based on your mood and flavour cravings. Instead of scrolling endlessly, you simply type out how you feel—relaxed, stressed, lazy, celebratory—or what you’re craving—spicy, sweet, sour, savoury. The app then recommends curated dishes or snacks that match both your vibe and flavour mood.

For example:

• Feeling stressed and craving something sweet? - Boba, Brownie sundaes, Waffles
• Feeling lazy and craving spicy? -  Quick biryani, Spicy noodles, or Peri-peri fries.
• Feeling energetic and craving sour? - Tangy salads, Lemon tarts, or Citrus coolers.
• Feeling celebratory? - Cakes, Pastries.

Who benefits?

• Users save time, get personalised suggestions, and enjoy meals that actually match their moods.
• Restaurants get to showcase hidden gems (not just their bestsellers).
• Communities connect through “flavour moods”—you can share what you’re eating with friends or start challenges like “Spicy Saturday.”

Why does this matter?: I’ve often been hungry but indecisive, scrolling endlessly through food apps. Sometimes I know I want something spicy or chocolatey, but the apps don’t let me search by flavour craving. Food is deeply emotional and sensory, and MoodBites makes it playful, intuitive, and satisfying.

Technically, the app would use AI to map moods + flavours to specific cuisines and dishes. It could even integrate with restaurants’ menus to highlight lesser-known items, such as “hidden spicy gems.” Over time, it learns your patterns—maybe you always crave sour foods when stressed—and suggests meals proactively.
