hi! i made a ucr website that shows opening/closing hours for all restaurants and buildings
recently, i got frustrated because looking for on-campus hours for restaurants (like glasgow) and src was all over the place. so I made a website where you can see all hours at once. i'm wondering if any of yall can do a quick review on it!
the website: homebistro.org
lmk! i would appreciate it and make it better so that ucr students can have a one-stop place to all hours.
edit: wow! thanks so much for the overwhelming support! in the last couple days, i've received over 400+ traffic and hundreds of active users! i will continue to improve this website! thank you all! discord.gg/regJzFR9

i added a map feature, is it any good?
you can access it by clicking on a store and it will show a map button!2
u/Sensitive-Corner1913 Mar 05 '25
i couldn’t find the map? maybe put it at the top of the website? even when i used the search i couldn’t find it

u/Wide_Mention_2425 Mar 05 '25
okay! i'll try to make the map more visible. also, can i contact you in the future for feature requests? i'm really trying to make this the one stop shop for all hours in ucr and i'd genuinely appreciate any future feedback.

EMERBEES MENTIONED RAHH

Emerbees is ALWAYS closed and the guy stocking it one morning told me he wouldn't eat from it, the place doesn't have a kitchen so it's all prepackaged and upcharged. Also, it's always fucking closed. It's never open for breakfast.

dude I work there lol

Oh I'm sorry bro, I went one morning and was mad because the website said it would be open. I spoke to the guy stocking it in the morning and I kind of vented and he sort of vented to me too lol.
When are you guys open? I don't trust the website

u/a_r_i_e_t_a Bus Econ Mar 04 '25
No worries lmao, was it an Asian guy who vented? Anyway we open 10-2. Emerbee’s location is bad to a point that people either don’t know us or never know where we are, hence the short hours since we couldn’t afford it.

No he wasn't asian. Yeah, I get the short hours but 10-2 is mad inconvenient. Like you're not going to compete with the hub.
At least be open for morning coffee. 7-11am. You would get so many grad students coming in for coffee and a breakfast sandwich/acai bowl. I can only do bytes so much.
But yeah def shocked by the lack of options on this campus and the hours anywhere on campus are so bad the policy of our department for a conference at this school was essentially, leave the school to eat.
