Market Potential
The Problem
Delivery of food is yet to be fully developed. Pizza Hut is a market ruler.
However, there is no variety in food available.
No service is available to locate local food and purchase it AND have it delivered.
The Solution
Food Fury provides a system that allows customers to purchase a variety of foods and have them delivered. Restaurants can advertise their products and bicycle couriers deliver the food for a small fee.
Food Fury is the solution
Market Potential
Magnitude
Example:
Hundreds of stores sell food across Brisbane
Most of these stores are not advertised.
Customers do not know what most of these stores sell, or where they are located
There is no quick and efficient method of food delivery in Brisbane.
Proof of Concept
Prototype Solution
A prototype solution was developed and tested receiving excellent feed back from the general public.
