7a You Have An Opportunity, Now What?
Part 1: The opportunity - Midtown bars are overwhelmed with extensive line wait times and lack of information about how many students and who is in specific bars as well as little to no information on cover prices and drink specials.
Part 2 :
Who- UF students that enjoy Midtown bars.
What- students have little information on wait times, cover, specials, and who is in which bars at midtown.
Why- there is little updated information on the Whats described above produced by the bars themselves or 3rd party apps.
Part 3:
The who for this specific need only pertains to UF students who go to midtown, but in bars around america this problem exists.
The boundaries of the what is that not everyday these problems exists and not all bars at midtown share all of the same whats.
Boundaries to the who is that not everyone that goes to midtown sees all the described whats as an issue resulting in them not using the information that should be available.
Part 4:
Alex Indar : -is a student that attends midtown bars
-has issues with wait times most times he goes out and experiences problems with knowing if there is cover or not.
-would use information about wait times, cover, specials, and who is in bars if said information is provided.
Scott Burgess : - is a student that attends mid
-has issues with wait times sometimes but usually goes out before the crowd gets there.
-would like information on just cover prices because he never has cash on him
Nick Stelacone: - is not a student that attends midtown, but attends downtown bars
- has issues with not knowing what friends are at what bars he attends
-would like to see which bars his friends are at
James mullin: - student that attends only midtown
- attends bars at mid that rarely ever have wait times and always update their specials and cover prices on social media
- would not need any more information if provided.
Jackson Cole : -does not attend any bars
-doesnt experience any related problems specified
- would not need any information on midtown bars if a feed was updated.
Part 5:
From the interviews i found that the need to solve the problems that i described only pertains to certain bars at midtown and that some of the same problems described appear not only at midtown, but all night life for UF students including a lot of downtown bars and clubs.
Hi Jacob,
ReplyDeleteI think this is a useful idea that would definitely be beneficial to many people. Just playing devils advocate, you would just have to market this well to people because their are a lot of drunk people at mid that don't care that their waiting in line haha. I would definitely get a clear, concise idea of what your product is going to be and don't just have it appeal to mid, because you could have this product at any busy place like mid.
I really like this idea as I have this issue when I go out to Midtown. I think an app that tells you information on lines and how close to capacity a bar is is a great idea, but I think the main part of the problem is that people go out way too early. If you figured out a way for people to start going out later, and not at 7 o clock, then the lines would move faster and wouldn't be as long.
