What is your product idea & who is your audience?

The product idea is soup dumplings. At the moment, one of the soups that is in the dumpling is alphabet soup, which is our main idea. Our target audience is towards all ages but younger audiences might be more interested in this product due to alphabet soup being a familiar food for kids or teenagers. Other target audiences are people that enjoy eating hot/warm foods. Tourists and foreigners travel to have new experiences. So they can have a memorable, new experience with food Tourists/Foreigners are already out of their comfort zones to try our food/product idea. This product could be convenient for families, not only depending on size of families but depending on how many portions of dumplings they want to buy because they have other stomachs to feed.

What are your plans for data collection and modeling, as a group or individual?

The plans for data collection and modeling as a group/individually is by pin pointing where we want to sell our product before anything else. Doing research on popular places people visit and common places food needs to be sold. Individually, I have decided to do research on theme parks and foods that are sold in them. Because theme parks like Disney provide such unique, creative, magical food ideas, our goal is to create a food that can be added to Disney or Universals restaurants. One of our group members, Britannia has done research on the Disney website to see which restaurants would be the best fit for our product. While I’ve been doing research on the Universal Studios Beijing park.

What is your role in the team?

My role in the team is finding a location of where this food would be sold. We  will find a location as soon as we get results from the survey Britannia created.  I will then collaborate with Britannia on the theme of our food idea.

 

What are some potential challenges you may run into over the next 2-3 weeks?

Some potential challenges we may run into over the next 2-3 weeks may be realizing people could have allergies to this food. We may find flaws in our product if we decide to actually test out cooking and eating this food. When we get results from Britannias survey, we will be able to find out more of our weaknesses & strengths of our food product.
