FoodVentory is an innovative mobile application designed to revolutionize the way college students manage their groceries, meal planning, and food utilization, directly addressing common challenges such as food waste and inefficient shopping habits. Developed for iOS, FoodVentory integrates advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to scan grocery receipts, automatically populating a digital pantry that tracks food inventory, including quantities and expiration dates. This feature allows users to effortlessly maintain an accurate and up-to-date list of pantry items.

Furthermore, FoodVentory enhances the meal preparation process with a smart recipe recommendation engine that suggests dishes based on available ingredients, catering to dietary preferences and minimizing food waste. The app also includes a shopping list feature that is automatically populated based on recipe requirements or items running low in the pantry.

Targeting a launch with support for popular grocery store Target, with plans to expand, FoodVentory promises to simplify food management, making grocery shopping and meal planning efficient and enjoyable for college students.
