Chefs For Puerto Rico

Platform to manage the distribution of meals created by World Central Kitchen.

The project is developed in ExpressJs, using MongoDB as a backend, and handlebars for templates.

Context

World Central Kitchen is changing the world through the eyes of a chef. As chefs, our work in the kitchen improves health, increases education rates, provides career skills, and creates food businesses.

They are working on Puerto Rico with a group of chefs, and local providers to make over 100k meals a day that are then distributed to people in need around the island.

This project aims to help them improve their impact by helping them reach the people in need in the island.
