Snack Run!

Justworks Hack Day, 2024

Snacks add to the fun of being in office. For 1.5 days, I worked with an engineer to bring our vision to life: empower our office mates to find their favorite snacks efficiently and collaboratively.
Out of 60+ entries, our Snack app won 2nd place overall as well as People's Choice. And you guessed it... I spent a small portion of prize $$ on snacks :)

Solution

Snack map for quick orientation

Each kitchen is represented as a hotspot you can tap to see a list of currently available snacks – you can instantly decide whether it’s worth climbing up 2 flights of stairs for your favorite chips.

Search to optimize your snack run

Results show kitchen location and stock status, so users can plan their snack stop between meetings or collaborations.

Inventory update boosts camaraderie
