Team Overview

Innovative Idea
The platform is going to be similar to RateMyProfessor and Yelp, we will show star ratings than numerical rating and also accept half ratings. There will also be a multitude of rating criterias such as Food Quality, Customer Service, Location, and Price to calculate the Overall rating of the review. However, this platform will be for UMass Students and Faculty to post reviews of UMass Dining Hall food.

User Logistics

• User login: stores user login info such as uuid, username, userRole, password, email
• Student: stores UMASS student data such as uuid, username, userRole, password, email
• Faculty: stores UMASS Faculty data such as uuid, username, dining hall they work at, years of work experience

Website Logistics

• Likes: Users can like or dislike other reviews, shown by a whole number.
• User comments: Users can write comments in the review about the food they ate.
• Images: Users can post images of their plate or surroundings of the dining hall
• Rating: Users can specify the satisfactory level on food quality, customer service, atmosphere and time to spend to find a seat or table.
• Overall Review: Each dining hall has a rating that is calculated using all the ratings from users' posts.
