The project offers a self‑hosted Flask server that pulls the Kölner Studierendenwerk CloudMensa API, normalises diet, allergen, and pricing data, and serves it via a simple JSON API. A vanilla‑JS single‑page web app (PWA) lets users browse menus, filter by vegan/vegetarian, exclude allergens, and rate dishes, with data cached locally for offline use. It targets students and staff who need an up‑to‑date, ad‑free mensa planner without relying on third‑party services. Compared to generic OpenMensa feeds, it provides richer metadata, per‑location serving times, and persistent user ratings.
