My Idea for a Future Business: A public Toilet Finder App

 

Have you ever been out in the city and suddenly needed to find a restroom, but couldn't locate one nearby? This is a situation I have experienced many times, and it can be stressful-especially when you are in a new area, traveling, or on a tight schedule. Most of the time, the only available option is to go into a café or restaurant and buy something just to use their facilities. This inconvenience inspired me to come up with an idea for a business that could help solve this problem for many people.

My idea is to create an app that allows users to quickly and easily find public restrooms on a map. The app would display available restrooms int shopping malls, public buildings, parks, and other free-to-use facilities. It could also include helpful information such as opening hours, accessibility options, cleanliness ratings, and even whether baby-changing tables are available.

One of the key features of the app would be community participation. Users could add new restroom locations, leave reviews, and upload photos to keep the information up to date and accurate. This would make the app more reliable over time and create a sense of collaboration among users.

I believe this app could be particularly helpful for tourists who are visiting a city for the first time, parents with young children, elderly people, or anyone with specific health needs. Having quick access to this information could make outings less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone.

In the future, I would love to work on developing this app and see it become a tool that makes urban life a little easier. This project would also allow me to apply my skills in web and mobile development while solving a real-world problem that affects many people every day.
