VendorPulse

VendorPulse is a mobile + web app that helps street-food fans avoid wasted trips by showing real-time stall status: open/closed, estimated wait time, and “likely sold out” alerts. Vendors update with one-tap buttons (Open, Busy, Low Stock, Sold Out) and optional quick menu edits; customers can also submit lightweight confirmations (with location + timestamp) that are weighted by trust score. The app focuses on a tight radius and a few neighborhoods first, because coverage is everything and empty maps kill adoption. Monetization is simple: vendors pay a small monthly fee for a verified profile, featured placement during peak hours, and basic analytics (busy times, repeat customers, demand by item). This is not a glossy discovery app; it’s a utility for people who already know what they want but need timing certainty.
