Application Development - Build an MVP

Project Overall into: We are seeking a team of diligent students to help us build a comprehensive reservation application aimed at simplifying restaurant operations and enhancing customer experiences. This app will offer a live view of the restaurant's floorplan, enabling customers to book available tables and pre-order their meals. Upon arrival, their orders will be relayed directly to the kitchen, ensuring efficient service. Furthermore, the application will allow restaurants to manage seating statuses and streamline their day-to-day operations. An intuitive pre-order system will include a dynamic menu, a user-friendly cart feature, and a secure payment gateway.Requirements: User Authentication: The app should support secure user registration, login, and profile management features.Real-time Floorplan View: Users should be able to view a live, simplistic representation of the restaurant's floorplan, showing the current status of tables (available, occupied, needs cleaning, etc.).Reservation System: Users should be able to reserve available tables, with their reservation reflected in real-time on the floorplan.Pre-order System: An intuitive interface should allow users to view the restaurant's menu, select items, add them to a cart, and pay in advance. Upon the customer's arrival, these orders should be automatically sent to the kitchen for preparation.Restaurant Management Interface: Restaurants should have a separate interface allowing them to update table statuses, manage the menu, and view incoming orders and reservations.Secure Payment Gateway: A reliable and secure system should be implemented for handling transactions.Notifications: Users should receive confirmation and reminder notifications for their reservations and updates on their pre-orders.Front End:For the front end, we suggest using ReactJS. Its component-based architecture will enable the team to build a highly interactive user interface. React Native can be used if a mobile application is also planned.Back End:Node.js is recommended for the back end due to its efficient handling of asynchronous requests and good performance in real-time applications, which will be critical for the live floorplan feature. Express.js can be used as the server framework.

Panion - a Big Leaf project that is in development: It consists of an App-based platform (android/iOS) that matches Care Workers with their Clients.Nurses, PSWs, physical therapists, phlebotomists, companions, etc. create are matched with clients based on key factors, which are customizable for each party.Care Workers create online profiles with Key Factors like Education, Experience, Language(s), Specialties, Certifications, Vaccines, Geographical and Temporal Availability, etc. Clients and their families or caregivers fill out a profile with requirements such as times and days, expertise, experience, language, education, vaccinations, etc. The system matches Client to Care Worker, or manual matches can be made by users, and Panion takes only 15% of revenues per transaction; one-half of what many agencies take.What makes Panion different?We are focused on Care. Quality Care is something that is a result of a concerted and collaborative effort. We know that Care Workers are often underpaid, underappreciated, mismatched with clients, and required to travel great distances without remuneration. We also know that Care Workers almost never have access to Benefits, Insurance, and Pensions from the agencies for which they dedicate their life. Panion offers Care Workers benefits, insurance, and pension plans, takes less revenue, and makes better matches. Panion also lets users Rate each interaction for both parties, via our sister company KnowQuest (using KnowQuest's API).How can you help?We need to reach Long Term Care Homes, Retirement Homes and Residences, and other similar facilities in which we can utilize Panion's platform to find them more motivated, better paid, insured, educated, experienced, and vaccinated Care Workers. We are even lookiong at adding body cameras to Care Workers to ensure the safety and security of everyone involved. We go above and beyond the norm in the industry, and we need your help to make key stakeholder such as Directors of Retirement Homes or Long Term Care Homes.

Business Consulting App

Basic App Development:We are looking for bright students to develop for us a very basic app on iOS and Android.The App: It is a simple tool to help entrepreneurs and business managers/executives better identify their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. It follows our own custom Business Planning Methodology, and should consist of a hierarchy of questions that lead the user to an answer.For example: An entrepreneur or executive starts the process by entering their basic contact info, and agreeing to the terms and conditions and privacy policy.Then they start answering questions.When they reach a question that they cannot answer, the App will help them to get the answer(s) and/or reach out to our consulting firm for help.If they can answer all the questions, then the App should output an overall review with Green, Yellow, and Red flags.The Flags:Green means you are OK and probably have good information about the topic, or your company is not weak in this area (given the info provided)Yellow means that there are concerns or you don't have enough dataRed means that something is lacking, a weakness is recognized, or they need to reach out to us for further consulting.

Market Research - Care Workers

The ClientThe Big Leaf is a management consulting firm. The team is launching a new venture called Panion, a play on the word Companion.Panion.ca and MyPanion.com (in the USA) is a platform that makes the lives of Care Workers and their Clients easier, safer, and more reliable than alternative methods such as agencies.The BackgroundWe recognized from talking to our friends and family, that care workers are not ideally matched with their clients, often miss meetings, often have to drive great distances to reach their next client, are often underpaid, do not receive the option to purchase or earn benefits or pensions, and do not have insurance. This led to a loss of value for both the care workers and their clients as injuries, missed appointments, language barriers, and mistakes increased in numbers.We knew that we can do better, so we designed Panion! Panion matches care workers and clients based on meaningful factors.The IdeaClients and Care workers create profiles and enter meaningful information that is then used automatically or manually to match one to the other. Traditional agencies match mostly on availability. With Panion, we can match based on meaningful factors such as Education, Expertise, Experience, Vaccinations, Languages, and Ratings (via our sister company KnowQuest.com).Panion also offers Care Workers benefits, pension plans, and insurance; perks that they do not receive from most agencies. Lastly, Panion offers Care Workers more pay, only charging 15% for use of the platform, versus the average 30% those agencies take!UVP: Better paid, more motivated, more valued care workers, that are better matched to their ideal clients. Fewer mistakes, fewer injuries, more value, more pay, and the peace of mind of insurance, pensions, and benefits. Panion is Care Evolved.Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help us at Panion, to help us better understand Long Term Care Homes, Retirement Residences, and similar organizations (including Not-For-Profits), as well as the health-care/insurance systems that pay Care Workers. We need you to develop a meaningful plan to work with, and provide our services to, those that can benefit the most from the Panion platform and its UVP.
