I am a college student that likes to hangout with
friends and go out. My talents include being a good leader, bringing out the
best in everyone, and being able to connect with people. My experiences include
leading a club and raising lots of money for our cause. I aspire to be successful
and make the world a better place by helping others and bringing others up.
This business design for me would play a role in my life because it would be
easier and cheaper for me to eat on campus on the weekend, and I can use the
money for other things that I would want.
I am offering to my customers the ability to go
anywhere to eat on the weekends and be able to rely on the place being open. My
customers are college students who live on campus and do not have any form of
transportation or would rather eat on campus during the weekends and not have
to commute anywhere. The customers all have in common that they want to have
extended hours during the weekend to enable them to eat anywhere at any time
they want. The customers care because they are tired of paying extra money and
giving up extra time to go off campus to get food. These customers would rather
pay a small amount of money for extra convenience and cheaper food options. What
sets me apart from others is my drive to find common ground between people and
make everyone happy. I want the solution in the end to be something that both
parties can be happy with.
I think that all of the elements of my business fit
together well because I know who I am targeting, and I know what those people
want. I don’t think that there are many weak parts because I believe there
would be high demand with everything that I am bringing to the table.
The feedback I got was very positive and I was happy
that people thought that my idea was well put together and doable. They did say
however that they are worried about the price being a turn off for college
students. I considered it and I decided to disagree with this idea. I think that
college students are also concerned about time, and if I save them time during
the weekend then they probably wouldn’t be worried about spending a little extra
money. The difference between the money that they would spend at an off campus
place and a place on campus would be greater than the simple cost of paying for
my service.
Hey Nathan I agree with you that eating at the University of Florida on the weekends is a problem. Mainly it is so tough because you have to spend money and many college students don't have the funds for that. Overall keep up the good work and I hope you can follow through with your idea because it is something that must be addressed.
ReplyDeleteHi Nathan,
ReplyDeleteI do think you have a sizeable market of students who would be willing to pay a little extra to save time and energy by not having to go off campus to get food. However, services such as Uber Eats and Postmates can serve a similar purpose, also for a small fee. My question to you is how do you plan to gain an edge on these delivery giants? Will the fee be less than theirs, or will the restaurants you extend the hours for be exclusive to your service?
