Could you build this?
Partial The iOS frontend and macro calculation logic are simple, but compiling, verifying, and maintaining an accurate, allergen-graded proprietary database of US restaurant chains requires continuous manual or automated data scraping and validation.
What it would actually take: The app needs a Swift/SwiftUI frontend backed by a PostgreSQL database with a normalized nutrition schema. The difficult component is the data pipeline: scraping, normalizing, and continuously monitoring PDF and web nutrition menus across hundreds of restaurant chains while maintaining allergen cross-contact accuracy. Requires full-stack engineers and substantial ongoing data-engineering efforts to keep chain restaurant menu variations up to date.
