Hawker Food: aplicativo de geolocalização de vendedores de comida de rua

Abstract

In Brazil, work without a formal contract emerges as an alternative to minimize the impacts caused by unemployment and also represents an extra source of income for many families. Recent research indicates that approximately 25 million people work independently, and within this group is the modality of street vending, which is mainly characterized by the sale of products without a fixed point of sale. Currently, there are no tools fully focused on providing support to this audience, aiming to facilitate the interaction between vendor and customer. Delivery apps like iFood connect restaurants to customers, offering support in order management and delivery logistics. However, to use the platform, establishments must register and pay a monthly fee, which, considering the Brazilian reality, does not align with the financial conditions of many street vendors. Therefore, Hawker Food emerges as an innovative and accessible solution for the street food sector, aiming to facilitate the integration between vendor and consumer through geolocation features.
