Idea

• Ordering food to go from restaurants can be a
  hassle when done by the phone. Orders can be
  misunderstood or mistakes made when the order is
  written down. The entire process would be made
  much more efficient if there was a form that
  could be completed online and sent to the
  restaurant, and a few minutes later you could go
  get your food.

3
Customer

• The customer of the product would be the
  restaurants who would be taking the orders.

4
Users

• Users of the product would be the customers of
  the restaurant, who would place orders through
  the restaurants website.

5
Implementation

• An HTML form which could be customized for the
  restaurant.
• The form could be sent to an email address or
  even sent through fax once it is submitted.
• The product would not be difficult to implement
  because it is a generic HTML form template with a
  few customizations for each restaurant

6
Implementation cont.

• The form would have to simple enough for both the
  customer and the user to be able to use it with
  very little training.
• The restaurant would also need to be trained in
  how to update the form should their menu change

7
Benefits

• Less chance of a mistake when compared to placing
  an order over the phone, especially if English is
  not the restaurants or the customers first
  language
• Easy to maintain
• Easy to update

8
What Isnt in the Box

• The restaurants would need an on-site computer
  that has Internet access so that the form could
  be received.
• If the form is submitted as a fax, then the
  restaurant would also need a fax machine
  associated costs with a fax machine would be
  paper and ink
• Restaurant would also need to pay for hosting
  services

9
Alternatives

• Some alternatives in implementation
• Instead of training someone to update the form,
  maintain a subscription service or a fee to
  update the form for the restaurant
• Also providing maintenance to the site should
  anything happen to it
• Providing hosting services could also be a
  possibility
