AnimoEats community around a neighborhood food stall
Built in Taft, for Taft

Everybody Eats.

Order ahead. Skip the line. Support the places that give Taft its flavor.

Our mission

Good food should work for everyone around it.

We support the MSMEs, small chains, and long-time, identity-built places students already know and love: the go-to lugawan, the siomai place you swear by, and the cafes that have been here longer than any of us.

Order ahead, spend less time in line, and keep more of every purchase in the neighborhood.

Born from a student idea.

AnimoEats began as an economics capstone guided by Dr. Madeleine Estabillo and Dr. Jason Alinsunurin—and grew into a platform for the wider Taft community.

Why we're different

A platform sized for the community it serves.

Simpler for students, fairer for vendors, and focused on Taft.

01

Zero commissions

Vendors keep 100% of their sales. No hidden platform fees, ever.

02

Student-run

Built and maintained by students who eat around Taft every day.

03

Hyper-local

Every vendor, feature, and delivery route is designed around the streets you actually walk.

The usual platform model

25–30%

merchant commission on every order

Those costs often return as higher menu prices and delivery fees.

Why delivery gets expensive

Big networks carry big overhead.

Large platforms use merchant commissions to support city-wide logistics and other business lines. Merchants and students end up paying for a network much larger than the trip their meal actually takes.

Riders are also dispatched across entire cities, spending more time and fuel between sparse orders. That extra distance keeps delivery costs high—even when your food is only a few blocks away.

AnimoEats stays hyper-local: no cross-city rides and no unrelated businesses to subsidize—just neighborhood vendors at honest prices.
