The foodservice industry is deemed to be the final link in the entire food industry supply chain. Thus, it has a crucial role to ensure that the food served is safe and suitable for consumption. In Islam, looking for Halal and Toyyib food is mandatory for every Muslim. The Muslims not only need to observe that the food consumed is Halal but also safe and free from contamination. Today, as the business of Halal food experiences a rapid growth, the duty of ensuring the food is Halal has been shifted to restaurant operators and this can be seen through the introduction of Halal certification. However, many restaurant operators did not comply with this Hal a! standard and led to Hal a! fraudulent practices. Reports on Halal fraudulent decrease lack of confidence amongst the Muslims. This project is focused on developing an Android-based mobile applications designed for Halal consumers, to reduce the time taken to keep track their preferred items either it is Halal or not. By using this application, users may check directly to the authority and update their entire preferred items status using only one button. Besides, users also received alerts whenever necessary. Using barcode scanner will saves time, and cost. Above all, this application may check and balance the Halal enforcement.
