8A– Solving The Problem

-
 I would like to open up a breakfast restaurant called "Stacked" that is comparable to the set-up of places such as Grill Fresh and Chipotle and is open 24 hours in Gainesville.  This concept would allow people to have breakfast food at any time in a more efficient way and would let them get exactly what they want at the time that they want.  Ideally, this restaurant would open Downtown so that it can be a trendy place during the day and a place that people go to after a night out during the late hours.  A rough idea of how pricing would work can be set up based on the following categories:

Bases:
Pancakes
Waffles
French Toast
Biscuit
Regular Toast
Omelette (customizable)

Topping:
Eggs any style
sausage
bacon
turkey bacon

Sauces:
Flavored syrups
whipped cream
peanut butter sauce
nutella
butter
cream cheese
jelly

Depending on how much of each category people want, there will be different pricing sets.  Additionally,  I would like to market and design the place in a very fun way included stools that are shaped like pancake stacks, egg lights, cool paintings on the walls, and special celebrations for birthdays/sign nights/ etc.  I am very passionate about this idea and look forward to expanding on it over time.

    With this assignment I can see that you have put a lot of thought into your solution. Would the bases be the set price, and then everything else is included in that price? Chipotle sells their chicken and steak bowls at certain prices, and then the other toppings are "free," the exception of course being guacamole, which is infamously "extra." I look forward to seeing how your idea grows throughout the semester.

    Hey Emily,
    You sound like you know what you are doing, especially having a name picked out and a menu! I like your design ideas and believe this would be a really cool spot in downtown Gainesville. It’s a good idea of having categories of food and then piling up anything you want on top. I hope you stick with it! Great job.

    I absolutely love the name that you came up with for the late-night breakfast restaurant. Not to mention, you did a great job recognizing that it would need to be centered around areas that have high traffic at night. Downtown or midtown would be great options for choosing a location, but the increased rent prices will also have to be a contributing factor. As i stated in my previous comment, the business will need to set itself apart with clever marketing and high quality food. I think that your idea for the design of the restaurant will draw people in and make it more likely to return. I would like to see an open-concept kitchen that allows the customer to watch the griddle going to ensure everything is fresh.

27A – Reading Reflection No. 3

1) What was the general theme or argument of the book? I decided to read  The Art of Social Media: Power Tips for Power Users by Guy Kawaski because I am very interested in social media and the ways in which it connects us to other users more efficiently. By reading this book, I was able to gain powerful strategies and insights into what it takes to have a strong social media presence and maintain beneficial followers. 2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003? This book definitely enhanced my learning in ENT 3003 because social media has become such a big part of marketing for so many businesses and I wanted to improve my knowledge on this essential tool to promote my ideas.  I am very passionate about my business "Stacked" and can think of several campaigns that I could complete on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.  3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, wha...

7A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1

1. Opportunity There is currently no place in Gainesville that provides people with the opportunity to get breakfast food in a customizable, fast-food set up and is open 24 hours.  After going out, many people seek comfort foods such as pancakes, waffles, eggs etc but there is not a place that is open really late and is in the areas that people go out at.  Also, there is an increasing trend with places that are set up like Chipotle, Grill Fresh, Bolay and other places that allow the customers to customize their meals with a variety of options. 2.  Background Info The who:  College students/ Millenials The what: There is a lack of convenient breakfast places that are open 24 hours and are in a fast-food, customization set-up The why:  Restaurants may not have the start-up capital and resources to open up a place that is open during late hours and has fresh foods. 3. Tests Testing the who:  I believe that there are others who have this need besides c...

12A – Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 1

1) Segment- The segment of my market that I have chosen to analyze is college students, particularly those that attend the University of Florida in Gainesville and like to go out. 2) Interviewees- I decided to interview two females and one male for the purpose of this project.  All three of them are college sophomores and explained that they like to go out with friends frequently during the evening. 3-5)  I learned that the latest that would be necessary for the restaurant to be opened would most likely be until 3 AM because after this hour people usually return to their homes.  Additionally, there are some nights where this concept would seem more desirable than others such as Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.  On nights such as Sundays and Mondays, this concept would not seem as appealing during the late hours and it may be desirable to make shorter hours during these time periods to save money on paying staff.  Additionally, my interviewees emphasiz...
