Abstract : Across industries, digital transformation has reshaped how services are delivered, improving both efficiency and transparency. Yet, most hostel and college mess facilities still rely on manual processes such as paper coupons and handwritten registers. These outdated practices lead to long queues, inaccurate billing, food wastage, and poor accountability. This work presents the design and implementation of a digital mess management system intended to automate daily operations, improve visibility, and minimize wastage. The platform combines mobile and web applications that connect students, vendors, and administrators through modules for meal booking, payment, and feedback. Real- time analytics support better resource planning and service quality. The study shows that applying digital transformation principles even to small campus services can enhance sustainability and operational performance.
