Describe the problem you'd like to solve Lunchtime food on a budget (ideally less than a £3 meal deal). Ideally a marketplace where people who already make homemade lunches daily can batch cook their lunches and offer the extra portions to people in the local area who can come and collect them. Users could see photos with all the different food options available over the week. The social element of this idea is that it would cater to those unable to afford expensive lunch options. Users could then review, like and comment on foods they've tried before. Ideally the price point is fixed around £2 per portion.

Who are the stakeholders? People who work during the day, those without the money to pay for expensive lunches each day, food eateries, supermarkets or local businesses who are able to provide these cheaper homemade lunches.

What is currently being done to solve this problem? There are £3 meal deals, £2 chips (the cheapest option locally but not very healthy), £6 kebabs. The main cheapest solution is to cook food and bring it in yourself from home but this marketplace would help those who are unable to do this or have simply forgotten to make lunch for the next day.
