E.A.T.

Problem The problem we attempt to solve is set at railway stations in the Netherlands. Train passengers often buy something to eat at a railway station. However, these people have not much time, because they have to catch a train. They often have just a couple of minutes at the station, before their train departs. Ordering food often takes longer than 5 minutes. That is the core of the problem: People miss their train because they order food, or they do not order food in order to catch their train.

The solution We want to create an app called E.A.T. - Estimated Arrival Time. This app allows travelers to select one of the (participating) restaurants located at a railway station they are about to visit, a meal and an pick up time. The customer pays using the app and only has to pick up his/her food while still being able to make the train. To give the restaurant enough time to prepare the meal, there is always a minimal time interval between the time of ordering and the pick up time. This service increases customer satisfaction and also generates more customers for restaurants located at railway stations.
