Menu Text App

Automated menu texting app built with a MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node). Built for use at the University of Notre Dame ☘️

Users can securely login/signup and configure a detailed schedule for menu text notifications. Schedules can be made for each day of the week (Sunday - Saturday). For each day, the user will choose the meal (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner), the dining hall (North Dining Hall or South Dining Hall), and the notification time.

Admin can post, delete, and edit menus for a dining hall's meal on any given date.
