Project Objectives

"Leafy Express" is a vegetarian food delivery app exclusively designed to cater to the needs of vegetarians, providing them with a convenient platform to discover a wide variety of vegetarian restaurants and food options in their area.

The primary objective of Leafy Express is to offer a seamless solution for vegetarians seeking convenient and diverse food options. However, the app goes beyond serving user needs by also aiming to bring more awareness to the numerous small and delightful vegetarian restaurants in the local community. By collaborating with these establishments, Leafy Express creates a win-win situation, where users can easily access vegetarian food while supporting and promoting local vegetarian restaurant businesses.

How and Why the Project Starts

Being a vegetarian and a lover of vegetarian food, my vegetarian friends and I encountered the challenge of limited vegetarian options on regular food delivery platforms. Moreover, I noticed a lack of customer awareness surrounding many excellent local vegetarian restaurants. Motivated by these experiences, I embarked on a journey to find a solution that would cater to our need for diverse vegetarian meals and simultaneously increase awareness for these remarkable local establishments.

Identifying the Problems

  • Limited Vegetarian Meal Options on Standard Food Apps

  • Time-consuming Search for Vegetarian Restaurants

  • Lack of Awareness for Local Vegetarian Restaurants

Creating Solution/Goals

  • Create a Comprehensive Platform for Vegetarian Restaurants:
    Develop a dedicated platform, namely Leafy Express, that brings together a wide range of vegetarian restaurants, providing users with a single destination to discover and order vegetarian meals.

  • Increase Awareness of Local Vegetarian Restaurants:
    Through Leafy Express, actively promote and raise awareness about the remarkable local vegetarian restaurants, enabling them to reach a wider audience and garner the recognition they deserve.

Research about Vegetarian/Bussiness Opportunity

With the rise in vegetarian meal popularity and health awareness, more people are adopting a vegetarian diet. This creates a prime opportunity for the "Leafy Express" project to offer a platform where all vegetarian restaurants can gather and serve customers. It's a win-win scenario, bringing awareness to small vegetarian businesses and providing convenience for vegetarian users.

According to latest stats, there are 1.5 billion vegetarians around the globe.

5 % of the US population follows a vegetarian diet, which is about 9.7 million people in the US.

The sales of meat alternative dishes in US restaurants jumped by 268%.

What I learned from the Project
 

  • Continuous Learning: Every design project offers new learning opportunities, which is truly amazing.

  • Business Opportunities: Through thorough research, I realized that finding a great solution to a problem can also present a promising business opportunity. The demand for vegetarian options, combined with the lack of awareness for local vegetarian restaurants, highlighted the potential for the "Leafy Express" project to succeed in addressing these needs and bridging the gap in the market.

  • Attention to Detail: This case study reminded me of the importance of double-checking designs to ensure that no details are missed.
