Carleton University - School of Computer Science Honours Project
Winter 2021
Allergy Friendly Dining App
ABSTRACT
The purpose of my honours project was to develop a web app that could be used by persons
with food allergies to help find a restaurant that could accommodate their allergies based on
experiences from other food-allergic diners. The web app entitled ‘SnackSafe’ allows users to
search for allergy-friendly restaurants as well as to contribute by entering their ratings against
restaurants that they have tried. For people with food allergies, it is always challenging to try
new restaurants without the fear of encountering a possible allergic reaction. The goal of this
web app was to create an easier way for the food-allergic community to find restaurants where
they will feel more comfortable dining.
