The motivation for creating this application came from a lazy evening when we opened our refrigerator and took a thorough look. We realized that much of our groceries were expired. Two cans of milk were one week out of date, the chicken that we bought from Whole foods smelt really bad and the mushrooms looked like they were left untouched for months. It is not that we do not cook at home at all but still such sight made us shocked. We realized we cannot be the only one who waste food and the very next day we started thinking for the food!
Our android application is able to scan barcode and list the food items along with their purchase date and expiry date. We know that we cannot get expiry date from just scanning barcodes but if we create a tie up with grocery stores and can access their inventory then by just scanning the 1-D barcode which is present in the bill, we can fetch all the important information. Once we have the data that we need then we notify the user prior to the expiry date. The user will also have an option to enter the dates manually.
Another novel idea is to generate a list of recipes based on the ingredients generated by Artificial Intelligence which will not only help the user to cook but also to make use of the foods that can otherwise be perished sitting idle inside the refrigerator.
We hope our idea motivates people around the world to take this idea forward and implement it for our better future.
