ShiftMeal

ShiftMeal is a mobile + web app that lets restaurants sell predictable, pre-ordered “staff meal” bundles to nearby workers (hospital staff, retail, warehouse, hospitality) during slow windows. Users pick a pickup time, dietary preference, and budget; restaurants publish limited daily bundles (e.g., 20 meals between 2–4pm) with simple menu options to reduce kitchen chaos. Payments are upfront, pickup is fast (QR code), and restaurants get a production list that looks like catering, not random tickets. The app focuses on repeat orders and group buys (a manager orders for 8 people) to make volume worthwhile. It’s not trying to be another discovery/review app; it’s a demand-smoothing tool that turns dead hours into guaranteed revenue with minimal operational overhead. Monetization is a small per-order fee or monthly subscription for restaurants, with optional corporate accounts.
