 \nBringing the OST Canteen and Students together  \nTeam / Authors:  \nNico Tuscano & Tobias Locher  \nProject advisors:  \nProf. Dr. Mitra Purandare Clemens Meier  \nDate:  \n19.12.2025 – HS 2025  \nStudienarbeit:  \nOST – Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences Campus Rapperswil-Jona  \nDegree:  \nBachelor of Science in Computer Science  \nAbstract  \nBiteWise is a web-based sub-platform developed within the existing Smart Eating ecosystem to address the specific needs of the canteen at the University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland (OST) . Smart Eating is an ongoing research and development project at OST that focuses on nutrition planning, AI-supported enrichment of food recipes, and serves as the technical and conceptual foundation for BiteWise.  \nAt present, the OST canteen publishes its menu plans mainly as static PDF documents and receives only limited feedback from students, primarily via generic online forms. This results in fragmented data and provides little actionable insight for systematic menu improvement.  \nThe objective of this project is to design and implement a functional MVP that brings students and the OST canteen closer together by establishing a structured feedback loop between students and canteen and transforms the existing communication into an interactive, student-centered system. The platform enables students to access current canteen menus digitally, receive personalized dietary recommendations based on individual preferences, and provide structured feedback on individual meals or on the canteen in general. At the same time, menu ratings and qualitative feedback are made directly accessible to the canteen, supporting evaluation and informing future menu planning.  \nAn OST-wide questionnaire was conducted during the requirements analysis, providing early insights into student expectations, priorities, and overall acceptance of the proposed solution. An iterative UX process from prototype design to validation followed, and a summative usability and acceptance test with the OST students was conducted first on the prototype and later on the fully implemented application to validate the MVP. The results indicate that BiteWise improves usability, transparency, and feedback quality compared to the existing PDF-and form-based approach, confirming its effectiveness asa functional MVP for the OST canteen and providing a solid foundation for future extensions.  \nManagement Summary  \nBiteWise is a web-based sub-platform developed within the Smart Eating ecosystem to address the specific context of the canteen at the University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland (OST) . Smart Eating is an ongoing research and development project at OST that focuses on digital nutrition planning and AI-supported enrichment of food recipes. BiteWise builds on this foundation and transfers its concepts and technologies to the campus canteen environment.  \nCurrently, the OST canteen publishes its menu plans mainly as static PDF documents. Student feedback is collected only toa limited extent and primarily via generic online forms. This approach results in fragmented and weakly structured data, making it difficult for the canteen to gain meaningful insights into student preferences and to systematically improve menu planning.  \nThe objective of this semester project was to design and implement a functional Minimum Viable Product (MVP) that establishes a structured feedback loop between students and the canteen. BiteWise introduces an interactive, studentcentered system. Students can access up-to-date canteen menus digitally, view detailed nutritional information, and receive personalised dietary recommendations based on individual preferences.  \nFigure 1: Daily Menu View  \nPersonal dietary matching highlights menus that best fit a user’s preferences and visually distinguishes unsuitable options.  \nFigure 2: Personal Dietary Matching  \nIn addition, students can provide structured feedback on individual mea","cbCaieh58VUYSmVs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieh58VUYSmVs","pdf",29907340,136,"English","# Abstract\n# Management Summary\n## Current Problem and Objective\n## User Experience and Feedback Loop\n## System Features\n## Technical Implementation\n## Development Process and Evaluation","[{\"question\":\"What problem does BiteWise address at the OST canteen?\",\"answer\":\"BiteWise addresses the canteen’s reliance on static PDF menus and limited, generic student feedback, which produces fragmented data and offers little actionable insight for systematic menu improvement.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the platform help students make better dietary choices?\",\"answer\":\"Students can access up-to-date digital menus, view detailed nutritional information, and receive personalized dietary recommendations based on individual preferences, with visual matching highlights.\"},{\"question\":\"What capabilities does the canteen dashboard provide to staff?\",\"answer\":\"Canteen staff can import and manage menus and access both menu ratings and qualitative feedback, improving visibility into student responses and supporting future menu planning decisions.\"}]","BiteWise - Bringing the OST Canteen and Students together | PDF",1791050933,343]
