For example, it is 1:45am; I have studied my heart out, and I am stuck at Library West with a starving tummy, who do I call? (This is where "Dine and Dash" comes into play.) You connect onto the app and see from your list of friends who is online or available. From there, you send a status saying: "I'm hungry for some McDonalds; I want a big mac with some fries; 20 minutes." From there, whoever is available, from your friends list or another person in the community, if they see your post, and you both choose to accept each other as "deliverer and receiver" of the food requested, that person will then attempt to deliver you the food in 20 minutes, or however long you requested. If you do get it within the 20 minutes, you pay your friend plus tip, and if you do not receive it within the 20 minutes, you get the food for free. The payment system is done within the app, through a similar venmo platform.
Our business chose to delve deep into the college student market because we understand that being "hangry" should never be an option. By allowing students to connect to their friends via a fun social networking and yet competitive game, students will have fun while also filling up their stomachs.
This idea is soooo cool! I'm always hungry and hate finding a way to go get the food. This idea actually reminds me of a new app coming out called Qwerk at UF. Your pitch is also really cool but might have to be a little shorter if it was for a serious elevator pitch.
ReplyDeleteHey Laureen, so I was actually really impressed with your video initially, you put by far the most work into this class compared to anyone else I have seen. My only complaint is the fact that once the video really started rolling that I could barely hear you and the sound was off! But all in all very well done, I liked the idea very much!
