MISSION BRIEF

Kuriftu Rewards is a mobile loyalty application built during the Hospitality Hackathon to enhance guest engagement at Kuriftu Resort. Designed to gamify the resort experience, the app allows users to earn points by scanning QR codes hidden throughout the resort, scanning their room daily, using services like restaurants and spas, or scanning receipts. These points can be traded in for free services like massages, water park access, or souvenirs. The app also includes a leveling system, badges, and user profiles to create a fun and rewarding environment. Built in just 6 hours, it demonstrates the power of rapid prototyping with Flutter and Firebase.

Operational Hurdles

Preventing duplicate QR code scans

SOLUTION_PROTOCOL: Each QR scan is timestamped and user-bound; system checks for duplicates in Firestore before awarding points

Enforcing a strict 24-hour rule for daily room QR scans

SOLUTION_PROTOCOL: Implemented Firebase Cloud Functions with time comparison logic to reject scans done within the cooldown window

Gamifying the experience within the limited hackathon time

SOLUTION_PROTOCOL: Designed a lightweight XP and badge system using dynamic point thresholds and user milestones

Balancing fairness and preventing abuse

SOLUTION_PROTOCOL: Added admin-side dashboard (WIP) and audit logs for QR usage, receipt uploads, and suspicious patterns

Building and testing multiple features in 6 hours

SOLUTION_PROTOCOL: Prioritized a modular code structure with prebuilt Flutter packages and Firebase templates to move fast
