LunchDeals AI: Never Pay Full Price for Lunch Again 🍔💸

Have you ever found yourself at 12:30 PM, hungry and staring at the same three overpriced sandwich shops near your office? You want a deal, but who has time to search through five different apps just to save $2? That’s why I created LunchDeals AI—so you never have to overpay for lunch again.

What is LunchDeals AI?

LunchDeals AI is a real-time discovery engine designed to help you find the best lunch specials and discounts within a 15-mile radius of your current location. No more expired coupons or hidden fees—just fresh, local deals delivered instantly.

How It Works

The secret is in the technology. LunchDeals AI uses proprietary web crawling AI to scrape real-time data from restaurant coupon platforms, local delivery apps, and third-party aggregators. Unlike static databases that quickly become outdated, LunchDeals AI finds deals happening right now.

Key Features

  • 📍 Precision GPS Integration: Automatically detects your location to show deals closest to you.
  • 🔥 Real-Time Scraping: Aggregates deals expiring today so you never miss a flash sale.
  • 🥗 Personalized Filtering: Filter by cuisine, dietary needs (vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free), and price point (preferred under $15).
  • 🗺️ Map & List Views: Switch between a sleek grid view or an interactive map with one-click directions.
  • ⚡ Built for Speed: High-performance React + Vite frontend, backed by an Express server for lightning-fast results.

The Design

I wanted the experience to be as appetizing as the food itself. The UI features a vibrant, modern aesthetic with glassmorphism effects, smooth micro-animations, and a vibe that makes finding a deal feel like a win, not a chore.

What's Next?

This is just the beginning. Upcoming features include push notifications for flash deals within two miles and battery-efficient background updates, so you’ll get alerts the moment a deal near you goes live.

Stop overpaying for lunch. Try LunchDeals AI and let me know what you think.
