1. While Pita Pit and Relish cure Gainesville's students of late night hunger, their lines can get pretty long for impatient customers. My solution is a late night breakfast place in midtown.
2. Getting pancakes after a night out will give students the carbs their body needs to kill a hangover before it even hits in the morning. It would also be a good treat for students pulling all nighters in Library West right across the street. Also, breakfast foods are cheap which is more favorable than Pita Pit's $10 meals.
3. The questions I asked were:
"Have you ever been to Pita Pit or Relish late at night after going out or from the library?" If yes,
"What was the wait time like?"
"Do you think a late night breakfast joint would be successful in Midtown/would you eat there?"
After talking to five customers about it, I think a late night breakfast place in Midtown is a great idea and would be a success.
I was definitely nervous interviewing the customers because I was unsure of what their reactions would be. I also got rejected by a few people who were in a hurry or too shy to speak on camera. But after the first person loved the idea and gave me positive feedback, I gained much more confidence with my next interviews.
I like that you used a specific area and business and pointed out a problem that occurs to a number of college students. Sometimes after a night of celebrating and partying, students get hungry and need some good food to put in their stomachs. I think one of the main issues is hiring employees who would be willing to work that late. Would there be special benefits offered for these workers, and so on. My questions were far more general and stretched out, so I think you made a smart choice in choosing something specific at college. Good job on this!

ReplyDeleteI love your idea of a late night breakfast place. The price of places around campus does tend to be inflated and does impact where college students decide to eat. I would appreciate it if the late night breakfast place also would have healthier opportunities. Some questions I have is where would the breakfast place be located in Mid? What ideas do you have to ensure lines do not get too long? I wish you the best of luck. Please check out my blog at http://domdey10.blogspot.com/2016/01/customer-interviews-no-1.html
