Make Your Own Platter – Android-Based Food Ordering System with Real-Time Alerts

Abstract / Introduction
With the increasing use of smartphones, mobile applications have become the preferred platform for food ordering and customization. Customers often face difficulty selecting meals that fit both their taste and budget from fixed menus.This project proposes the development of an Android-based mobile application
called “Make Your Own Platter”, which allows users to create their own food platter based on their budget. The app will enable users to select food items, track total cost in real time, and receive suggestions for optimal combinations within their budget. The system will also include a real-time alert mechanism to notify the website operator whenever a new order is placed, ensuring efficient order processing.
The system will provide a user-friendly interface, making food selection simple, interactive, and efficient.
