What does it consist of:

It makes it easier for people in vulnerable situations to purchase food products in local businesses through a mobile application.

How do you get it? The truth is that the Coometas team has developed this application (“Enchanted to eat you”) as a support tool, together with a web environment so that social entities, in synchronization, can launch and manage support campaigns dedicated to certain people. in a vulnerable situation. Entities can assign digital vouchers, launch communications, process credit or register and consult purchases through the environment. Users only have to redeem a coupon from the entity to be able to purchase and register with it. The application is open to everyone and, even if it does not have coupons from a social entity, it can be very useful for purchasing food products, counteracting waste and promoting the sustainability of the planet and local commerce.

The local businesses attached are varied, especially in certain localities where there are social entities with use licenses, and more can always be added. Below we analyze in depth the facilities for end users and social entities.

Using the app is the way through which users can purchase their food packages. The main difference between using the app with the support of an entity is that the user must redeem the coupon provided by it to start purchasing with the balance that it provides.

Registration is very simple as you only have to enter an email, a password and your first and last name; apart from accepting the privacy policy and terms of use. In addition, there is the option to register with Google, Apple or Facebook, which also speeds up the process.

After registering, the next step is to use the app, which has the following main spaces:

Search for food lots
receipts
Profile

*If you redeem a coupon from an entity, an extra section will appear in the menu, for the communications and events let them launch. This is very useful to receive coupon codes, be aware of notices about assigned credits or other relevant information provided by the entity, as well as to consult scheduled events.

In the profile menu you can view the user account and available credits. These credits are obtained by redeeming coupons. In this menu you can also review the terms of conditions and the privacy policy, close the session or delete the account.

The first thing the user has to do is allow or not allow the app to know their location to show nearby establishments and how far away they are, although you can also search for a specific location without enabling access to the user's location.

Businesses have been found mainly in Madrid, and in cities in the Basque country, Logroño or Zaragoza. This is because in these cities there are already social entities collaborating with Coometas, that is, if you are a social entity willing to join the project, the fact that there are no businesses currently in your area does not have to be an impediment, as this precisely can make them join too.

In any case, in the section batch search All of the following information is displayed:

Indicative batch title on the type of food
Name of the restaurant or establishment that offers it
current and previous price
Time zone in which the establishment is available, location and distance to it.

Evaluation of the users (number of "likes").

The option to filter the foods displayed is interesting, as it allows you to choose between the types of foods available:

Greengrocer
Panaderia
fish/butcher
Grocery store
Restaurant

Being registered in a social entity and using its coupons, the user can choose between two types of lots:

Packs "Buy the right thing" The user can choose the products from the store to include in their lot. based on its price (this type of lots appear with the blue label).
“Surprise” Lots – The specific contents of the lot are found out upon pickup at the specified time.

On the other hand, When freely using the app, the application clarifies that the lot is a “surprise” and also invites you to bring a cloth bag to promote care for the environment. It should be noted that the official websites of the restaurants are attached, which provides reliability and confidence to the user.

Redeem a coupon from your entity

People who receive coupons from their social entity or any other means can redeem them from their profile (icon in the bottom menu on the right). The user will automatically receive the credits, and from that moment on they will be able to save lots by spending them.

Environment for entities

Once the license is acquired, Coometas provides the link to the management environment, enables the registration of a corresponding account and assigns the agreed coupons to the entity.

the interface It is well implemented and adapted to the use of people who do not have high technological skills, with four management optionalities shown below. The first step will be to go to the coupons section to provide the code to users, so that they register when redeeming it and it is saved on the platform.

- Coupons: At this point you can check how many credits a coupon has left, its expiration dates, the credit expiration date, and the moment it was redeemed. Also the campaign to which it belongs, the type, the users to whom it is assigned and if it is still available. In this way, the entity can track usage and consult timely information.
- Users: One of the coupon codes has been redeemed from the app and the registered user in this section automatically appears. Here you can see the person's data (name, surname, email and registration date), the campaign to which it belongs (TECSOS, in this test case), the remaining credit, the amount spent, the total assigned and the expired amount. The number of orders and total lots also appears, as well as the date of the last one. There is the option to edit and change the data of each user.
- Transactions: It is about providing data on purchases in stores, in such a way that their records are displayed with their ID, name of the offer, price, location of the store and the buyer. Also if the payment was made with credit or card. Users can you take a photo of the tickets in such a way that they are associated with an order and thus the entity can dispense with saving them on paper for justification. In addition, it is interesting to display the status of the order (pending or delivered), so the entity can support the user and detect if there are problems with the collections. The entity can get an idea of which businesses receive the most purchases and attract the most, as well as in which categories users buy (this helps to check if a variety of products are purchased, which can indicate that the diet is healthy).
- Communications: Communications can be sent to already registered users. This is very useful for providing new coupon codes, notices and changes, event organizations, etc. You can put a title and a description, as well as select whether to launch it to all users or to a specific one.

Finally, a section is enabled to easily contact Coometas for any questions.

order a lot

For pay a lot with the credit of the coupons You simply have to select the “Use credits” button.

For pay a lot without coupon credits, It must be done with a bank card, leaving the “Use credits” button unselected. PNo billing information is requested to register, so you have to enter the card information at the time you purchase one (you cannot pay in cash). The rest is similar.

After ordering a lot, you can continue viewing the offers or go directly to the “Receipts” menu display. Here you can validate an order when it is picked up (orders for lots not yet picked up are not validated, and the message “To be picked up” will appear in red, followed by the available times). Once at the establishment, You must show the receipt and click on “Collect” to validate it in person.

Technical performance

Reliability

During the time that Encantado de Comerte has been tested, no closing failure, geolocation problems or others related to the proper functioning of the app have been observed.

It should be remembered that the app works with an Internet connection, so the app will not find offers if the user does not have a connection.

Regarding the environment for entities, no latencies have been detected in the tests and user or purchase data have been recorded instantly.

Consumer goods

It has been verified that the consumption of battery and data in the Internet connection is minimal. The application is 46.3 Mb in size.

Contact

The website has contact information to ask any questions: https://encantadodecomerte.es/contacto

Usability

The visual appearance of both the app and the environment for entities is professional and the content is well organized. In general it is intuitive. This helps the user to function better in their use of the app.
Both interfaces are well implemented and facilitate intuitive and comfortable use and navigation, in each case.
In the app, the typography of some information such as the address of the establishment or the title of the product is not entirely appropriate since it does not contrast with the background as it is gray on white or gray on gray. In the environment for entities the same problem occurs with contrasts.
For the content of the app the icons used are adequate. The location, time or batches have representative icons.

Accessibility

For people with reduced or no vision:

The screen reader option for iPhone (VoiceOver) and Android (Talkback) has been tested in the app. Both detect tags correctly and narrate the information appropriately. Perhaps there is too much information in a row on a product's bulletin boards as the entire block is the same label.

The contrasts of the content could improve. Hours or address are displayed in gray on white, white product titles sometimes don't contrast with their background image. On the other hand, the contrasts of the menu icons or the user profile do help with accessibility.

Cognitive accessibility:

The icons and images of the product help the understanding of the user, but perhaps these are accompanied by a lot of misleading information. The title of the product could be placed outside the image.

For people with hearing difficulties:

The relevant content of the application is presented in text, images or animations, so there are no accessibility problems in this regard.

For people with mobility or manipulation difficulties:

There is no delivery service, so people have to go to the establishments and load the lots, which can make access difficult for this group.

Highlights

El commitment to the environment environment on the part of the promoters is notable: The website itself contains the sustainability principles and objectives that the team of workers has, under the slogan “A young team, committed and willing to change the world.” Compliance with the objectives has been verified by analyzing the use of the app, which, when not contain advertising or other content, they ensure that the user is directly connected to food establishments to purchase leftover food throughout the days.
Simple and useful interface. In the app there is a main menu to show the batches and “save” them, which has priority over the profile or receipt menu when opened automatically. default making it easier for the user to use the application.
For the user, there are affordable prices and variety in the establishments, since there are not only restaurants, but also local businesses such as fruit shops, greengrocers or pastry shops publish their lots. It should be noted that any business can request access to publications through the web, which creates a space for the economic promotion of local businesses that generate less impact on the environment. In general, the products published are of quality and no publications have been seen from large fast food food chains.

Improvement points

Expand the number of cities in which the app has restaurants or specify the cities in which it is available, since you can search anywhere, but only restaurants appear mainly in Madrid and a few other cities. This information should be made clear to the user.
Improve contrasts and typography for the readability of texts on images to improve accessibility.

Conclusion

The objective of the project Comments benefits the various participants. On the one hand, end users (people who use the application to purchase food) have the opportunity to buy local products at an affordable price and receive support in terms of usability and economic in case you have any social entity. The management environment for social entities is an aid to them and an innovative social technology idea. Finally, local businesses have the opportunity to make themselves known or boost your local commerce.

Delighted to eat you is an application that can be useful in cities like Madrid or Vitoria where there are several restaurant options from which batches of food can be “saved”, allowing the user to obtain a pack of food at an affordable price and supporting sustainability since Leftover food from the same day that the restaurant would throw away is used. It is simple and quick to register and view the available food lots, as well as reserve them by paying with a bank card. It would be great if the application expanded its use to more cities in some way since it promotes a somewhat beneficial objective for everyone.
