This study explores the development and implementation of the WarungRakyat application, a web-based platform designed to improve economic activities at the neighborhood level in Indonesia. The study addresses challenges related to food security, economic sustainability, and community-based business models in rural areas. By leveraging information technology and a cooperative management model, the WarungRakyat application aims to improve access to basic needs, reduce operational costs, and increase energy efficiency through the Basket Marketing System (SBM). The application is designed to be responsive across devices, minimize data storage requirements, and facilitate easier access for community members. The research methodology includes simulation-based infrastructure modeling, which highlights the importance of flexible IT infrastructure in supporting sustainable economic development. The research findings suggest that the WarungRakyat application can contribute significantly to optimizing local economies, promoting self-reliance and well-being at the neighborhood level, and has the potential to be a model that can be applied more widely across Indonesia.
