Final Presentation Script
Hi, I’m Jay and I’m Ruth. We introduce Foodie Time.
Most students feel that they don’t have enough time to cook for themselves, even though they feel the need to eat healthier food. Students have limited choices of food available on and around Massey campus, such as Tussock, McDonalds, bakeries and pies or sandwiches from petrol stations. Tussock provides a small range of healthy food options but students’ responses were negative. The students we’ve talked to expressed the need for a cheaper, tastier and more accessible food provider on campus. Through survey we found that many students do not eat proper meals especially when they are alone.
Our idea is focused on connecting students and providing affordable, healthy food, right here on our campus. On the basic level, Foodie Time is a cooking club for students who are passionate about cooking. When you join you can learn how to cook a variety of affordable menus and any Massey student can join the club regardless of their level of expertise. But more importantly, Foodie Time also provides a healthy food option for non-club members at a non-profit price to make it affordable for students.
The club has a list of scheduled menus that the members will cook when they gather which will happen twice every week. As the menus are confirmed, they will appear on our app and be available for students to order. They can purchase today’s menu through the app and when they pick up their food, they can choose to stay around and join other students while they eat in a shared space. We’re looking to make this space feel relaxed, sociable and approachable so that students will see it as a place to loosen up and take a break from doing assignments. So ultimately, whether students decide to join the club or simply order through our app, we are bringing students together and they will all get a chance to connect with each other.
We will promote our idea on campus in the form of multiple rhetorical posters. These are aimed specifically at university students in order to catch their attention and give a sense of empathy. The three posters convey different feelings through the colours we’ve used. Purple represents the sickly feeling of rotten food. Green accentuates the feeling of isolation and alienation students may feel when they are around strangers. In contrast, the last poster in the series in orange clearly gives a fun, positive feeling. We have used lose line drawings throughout our design as they help to create an atmosphere that is neither serious nor boring.
When students spot our posters on campus, the link on the posters can lead them to our official Facebook group page that will contain all the information about the concept of Foodie Time including the cooking club itself and the food ordering app. The club members and non-members can openly communicate and share ideas on food menus on this page. Also our Instagram account will be our archive for previous menus that we’ve offered.
This is our app, and I will talk you through the food ordering process. When you first open the app, a welcome page prompts user to join the cooking club. You can login with your existing student ID and password, then you can start ordering. You can view today’s menu, choose a serving size, quantity and payment method. Because I chose the credit card option, I’ll need to put in my details. When the payment is processed, it will tell you where and when to pick up your food. You’ll need to present your QR code on pick up, as it contains your order information. When you pre-order, you can get 20% off your purchase which makes it a sweet deal. To select food you can tap inside the red boxes.Here is the menu for the upcoming two weeks. You can either select all the food or select a couple. You’ll see the discount is already applied. Again, it’ll remind you where and when to pick up your order. After you’ve had your meal, you can rate and review the day’s menu, have your voice heard and also help us improve the quality of our food. Finally, you can set a notification to remind you to pick up your food. Especially when you’ve pre-ordered a few days earlier.
The packaging was made to be recyclable and customizable to show students' uniqueness. We’re using it as another way to promote the cooking club to further encourage students to join in and connect with others through Foodie Time.
Foodie Time is not a business. It exists for students well-being and connectivity. Being funded by MAWSA enable it to be a non-profit system. In order for Foodie Time to operate effectively, we need many students to join our club.
We want you. Join our club.
Thank you.
