Demeter Prototype

Demeter is a domestic food management app that aims to prevent food waste as well as providing possible recipes based on the contents and combinations of ones’ kitchen.

Functions
- Expiration date, tracking solution. Scans barcodes and automatically discovers the name and expiration date of each item. If it is produce, it will calculate the average lifespan, Notifying the user when use-by dates are coming up to help prevent unnecessary food waste. Though this can also be done manually for fruit and vegetables that may not have a barcode. This data can also be shared across the internet of things platform, if the user has a smart fridge.

- Suggest recipes using an algorithm based on the remaining contents of your kitchen. The results can be gathered from external food blog partners e.g. ‘BBC Food’, though users can also make and share their own recipes.

- Helps you to write shopping lists within the app, optionally tracking your buying behaviour and making suggestions e.g. auto-populating particular recipe ingredients
