Unlock dorm deliveries with instant student proxy matching.
Student grocery delivery app operators can't scale due to dorm access barriers and cold chain failures causing spoiled food refunds that destroy profits.
DormProxy connects grocery delivery operators with verified student proxies inside target dorms for seamless handoffs, bypassing access barriers. Operators post delivery jobs, and nearby students claim them for quick tips, ensuring on-time arrivals without spoiled goods. This scales operations profitably by eliminating failed deliveries and refunds.
