01

Problem

Student lunch information was scattered across restaurant websites. The first goal was to make campus life in Jyväskylä faster: one app that reveals today's lunch immediately.

02

Solution

The app combines menus, opening hours, locations, prices, favourites, and available dietary and allergen details. The 2026 update expanded the service to higher-education cities across Finland.

03

Implementation

I built the product solo, from the interface and restaurant-specific data integrations to maps, caching, backend services and mobile releases.

04

Outcome and evolution

The 2022 hobby project grew from a local Jyväskylä menu app into a nationwide student-lunch discovery service. The current App Store version is 3.0.2.

Product core

A lunch decision without jumping between websites

Today's menus

Menus, prices and opening hours from multiple providers appear in one fast, scannable view.

Restaurants on a map

Location, distance, opening status and favourites help students choose lunch near campus.

From Jyväskylä to Finland

The local student project expanded to higher-education restaurants across the country in 2026.
