1. My name is Kevin Leddy. I have many talents that include being able to work in a team environment while also be able to take a lead role in a particular group. I am very easy to have a conversation with meaning I will be very approachable in terms of asking for instructions from my team members. I think this business would help me make an impact for students here at the University of Florida which I find to be key for my time here. Not to long ago I had no desire to make myself be healthy but with a new attitude adjustment I was able to realize that cooking healthy alternatives is not too hard or expensive. This is what I want to broadcast to the masses through my product.
2. The product that I want to make is an app that is called "I'm Hungry" within this app that would be available to Apple and Android products, a student would be able to search through a wide variety of recipes from beginner to advanced recipes in terms of instructions. The special thing about this app is if you were to want to make one of these recipes, you would simply click a button and type in your information to have the groceries delivered to your address in Gainesville. We would also have a program that would allow for a weekly menu plan that will outline what you should be eating and with a click of a button you can receive them.
3. I am offering this app to students in Gainesville because of the problems with parking, it would be very beneficial for students to leave their cars at home. However this eliminates the ease of getting food. But with "I'm Hungry" you can have your food delivered to you.
4. I think this product would be valuable because their are a lot of students that do not bring their car to campus (who live on campus) and have to resort to eating at the dinning halls or fast food but eating out can get very unhealthy. So to solve this, they can have their groceries delivered to them and a way to teach them how to make good meals.
5. I think that what sets us apart from any ordinary delivery business is that with a regular food delivery the food you are getting are unhealthy and usually expensive. College students are poor so a cheap alternative to this while also giving them the education on how to cook can be beneficial to many.
In final analysis, I think that all the elements of my business do work very well. I think that there is a huge need for a clean food delivery alternative in the Gainesville area and with the aspects of this service, these needs can be solved. I think the huge dependency on cell phones also increases the chance for success of my business idea.
After reading my feedback I am pleased to know that my peers think highly of my idea. Some things that I got from reading the feedback was that the portion about being a healthy alternative to delivery should be a focal point in my business idea. I also was shown that there is already software that allows for a weekly recipe to be sent to customers. One of my peers like the fact that my company would help solve what she is also trying to solve: parking on campus. All in all, I enjoyed reading my feedback because it allowed me to reorganize my business plan in order to truly cater towards the market I am going for. One benefit of having my peers read over my work is that they are also the main market for my company.
Hey Kevin, I think you have a great idea !, most of us college students have limited free time, which includes time to prepare meals and eat correctly and most of the time we opt for the cheaper and fastest way to satisfy our hunger putting our health in risk. Although most of the ideas out there are apps I feel like yours is different. you are actually dressing a real issue.

Hi Kevin, I like your idea and know I would definitely try it if it came to be. I think marketing the idea that it's a healthy alternative is really beneficial because of this health kick that many people are on these days. Similarly, marketing the parking idea will bring in more customers. It kind of reminds me of a Meals on Wheels but for college kids!

Hello Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI think your idea is great! What's unique about it is that you're offering healthy recipes and fresh groceries being delivered, while the customer cooks them. I think the issue with college students eating out is time constraint as well! Sometimes cooking takes time out of my day, especially if I'm prepping. Would these recipes be fast? I think your idea is definitely one of a kind and I believe it could bring success!

Kevin,
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought your idea would be too expensive and unappealing to us broke college students. You would have to hire people to not only go grocery shopping, but also to your home location. However, then I read your points on how impossible parking is(I just got towed yesterday) and you caught my attention. I was also interested in the point you made about how students will save money because they will be cooking their own food rather than going out to eat. Although I do not see myself as a customer, I know many people who would love your business proposal! Check mine out at http://palombiblogs.blogspot.com/2016/03/idea-napkin-no2.html
