It's an end to end web application to find a solution of finding mess with real time data
Starting college in a new city is exciting — but one of the first challenges every student faces is finding a good mess. Between unreliable word-of-mouth and outdated listings, the whole process can feel overwhelming. That’s where MessSathi comes in — a smart, student-friendly platform designed to make finding mess accommodation simple, transparent, and stress-free.
With MessSathi, students can explore mess options based on what actually matters — like location, pricing, food preferences, room types, WiFi availability, electricity, and more. An interactive real-time map makes navigation easy, so you know exactly where you’re booking and how far it is from your college.
For mess owners, listing their mess is quick and straightforward. They can showcase detailed information about rooms, food menus, services, and pricing — all in one place. Security is a top priority for us: every user goes through Aadhar verification, and if someone is under 18, we ask for parental details to ensure everyone’s protected.
The platform also makes communication smooth. Students can send direct inquiries, make advance bookings, and manage everything through a personalized dashboard — from saved mess listings to upcoming reservations.
Our smart filtering system helps users find what suits them best without the usual hassle. Plus, every listing is verified to reduce fraud and build trust between students and mess providers.
Looking ahead, we’re working on integrating blockchain-based payments for added security and transparency.
At its heart, MessSathi is more than just a platform — it's a helping hand for students navigating their new journey. We’re here to make sure finding a mess is one less thing you have to worry about.
During the hackathon, we developed MessSathi, a platform to help students find and book mess accommodations easily. We designed a user-friendly UI, built a mess listing system with filters, integrated Firebase for authentication and data storage, and added a real-time map for location-based searches. Mess owners could upload listings, and tenants could contact them or book in advance. We also explored blockchain-based payments for future improvements. By the end, we had a functional prototype that simplifies the mess-finding process for students.
