Abstract - A deeply disturbing fact about the world is that
690 million people are suffering from hunger everyday. The
reason for their hunger is the lack of food they receive. On the
other side we are wasting a lot of food in marriages, parties,
hotels, public gatherings etc. A proper co-ordination can avoid
waste of food and that food which is going to be wasted is
delivered in place of scarcity of food. Food wastage is
increasing and creating a negative effect on the economic
growth factors. The food waste creates a impact on the
agricultural processing industries. Restaurants are the major
contributors towards food waste. This research has been
proposed to predict how many future visitors will go to a
restaurant using big data and supervised learning. The big
data involved is restaurant historical reservations and
restaurant information. We evaluate our approach using
large-scale real world dataset from two restaurant booking
websites. As food recycling is always remaining as a complex
task, In this project, we are focusing mainly on the food
wastage in the office premises, wedding, events, restaurants,
etc. This web application is used to manage wastage foods in a
useful way. In general, we are automating the process of the
food wastage.

1. INTRODUCTION
Zero Hunger Initiative, is a platform wherein the
Restaurants , canteens , caters, temples , etc which are left
out with food , put an update on platform about the
availability of the food and fill the details on the site for
donation. There has to be a reduction in the no. of people
affected by hunger today and it is possible by using various
domains of technology. Tracking poor and hungry people in
areas of high density becomes more important in order to
provide them with the required food resource. Identification
of food rich places or places where food is available in bulk
help in gathering food for needy. This food then shall be
delivered in areas of poverty by various food donating
organizations and NGO’s. This web application provides
interface between food donor and the person who needs
food. The food donor enter their food quantity details and
addresses. The donor can create a account and whenever he
is available with food, he can login and give request to the
admin (NGO). The admin will collect the food from donor
through their nearby agent then provide to nearest
orphanages or poor people. After receiving the food, there is
a alert message given to that donor. This project is food
distribution and is an enormously successful social
innovation that tackles wastage of food and poverty. The
donor details are maintained confidential because it
maintains a separate account for each donor. The restaurant
owners need to accurately predict the number of future
visitors. In this project, we propose an approach to predict
how many future visitors will go to a restaurant using big
data and supervised learning. The data involved for the
purpose of prediction is restaurant information, historical
visits and historical reservations. The dataset used to
evaluate our approach are large-scale real world datasets
from two restaurant booking websites.
2. LITERATURE SURVEY
The particular proposed system is Food For All is a mobile
application developed with a need to make food available for
the people in need with help of NGO and to avoid the wastage
of food where food is wasted in bulk . In present scenario
food is wasted daily on large basis in marriages, hotels,
college canteens, events and many other social functions.
Nowadays people mostly donate food manually by visiting
various NGO, Donation centers around them. This is an
application where the communication takes place over
internet between food donors and volunteers from NGO to
discuss the food availability and other necessary details.[1]
Suraya Masrom proposed the Food for You (F4U) mobile
charity application has been developed with the intention to
reduce the burden of impecunious peoples, who require food
for living. The food waste problem can be solved
simultaneously with the use of application. There are some
few mobile charity applications, but none of them provides
connections between the needful, donors and food suppliers
to resolve the food waste problem. The paper is available
with a features comparison study among many charity
mobile applications, defining the restriction of the
application.[2]
The proposed system is Food wastage is one of the major
issues that need to draw the attention of society .there is a
need proper planning to address this issue. Proper steps can
manage its consequences. Waste food can be donated based
upon its quality. The quality of the food matters a lot and
hence, if the food is safe enough and of good quality then it
can be accepted for donation to the NGO and the NGO will
further donate it to hunger spots. If the food is of bad quality
and not safe to consume then it will be given for the purpose
of making compost. This particular android application will
cover the gap between these stakeholders. [3]
