Subject: Development of a food truck app.
Proposal for the development of a food truck app.
Introduction
Following recent research done within the university, it revealed that there is a lot of time wasted
to acquire food by students. There is a need to develop a way to reduce the time used. An

department recommends the catering department should develop the app and suction all the food
truck operators to join.
Advantages of the food truck app.

an excellent survey to ensure that the project will be a success. We invite any comments and
inputs regarding the implementation of the program.
