Testing the Hypothesis Part 2

Who: Through my interviews, I found that there is a number of people who do not have the need of knowing how long a line is before arriving in a restaurant. One person in particular even told me that they enjoy waiting in the line. It gives them time to talk to friends and socialize before having to go study. It is a study break for them and if they flew through the line then they wouldn't have time to relax and enjoy a study break. Another of the interviewees said that they usually order delivery food so there is no reason for them to need an app that tells them how long of a line there is to get food.

What: One of the interviewees brought up the point that even if they knew how long a line was, it wouldn't eliminate the fact that they still have to wait in the line. Most people have 3 or 4 restaurants that are their go-to for food based on convenience, price, and quality. If all of these restaurants all have long lines then knowing how ling the lines are is useless because they will have to wait in the line anyway.

Why: The need does not seem to be different. Some people, like myself, hate having to wait in lines because they make you wait for something that you really want. Others see a line as an opportunity to take a break from the fast paced life that we usually live and cool down and chat with their friends.

Inside the Boundary
Outside the Boundary
Who: People in a rush or people that do not have the time to wait in a line
Who: People who enjoy waiting in line as a way to take a break or clear their head
What: A way to predict how long the wait is at a restaurant before showing up
What: They do not have a need to know how long the wait is at a restaurant
Why: Line are inevitable when trying to buy food and some people don’t have the extra time to wait
Why: They enjoy waiting in line as a way to take a break from the fast-paced lives that we live and to socialize with friends.

  1. Hi Patrick,
    I liked how you discussed on how not everyone has this need because it shows the importance of customer feedback and discovering who your preferred customers will be. Personally, I do not like waiting in lines although I agree that sometimes it is nice to talk before sitting. However, there are times when I am very hungry and get annoyed when I have to wait in line at the restaurant, therefore, I would use your app.

  2. Hi Patrick,
    I think it was great how you started off the elevator pitch with a fact pointing out how much time people waste waiting in line. It shows how much more time they could have if your opportunity existed which would lead customers to use your app. I think for the next pitch try to make the video better quality because it was a little blurry. However, great job!
