Happy Happy Hour

This web app was created as a part of the 2020 DeveloperWeek Hackathon in San Francisco. My team participated in the TomTom API challenge to reduce food waste. Happy Happy Hour lets restaurants create happy hour specials out of inventory that will soon expire, and users can search a map for local deals.
