2. HARD FACTS
❏ Hugo(19)
❏ UM Sophomore
❏ CS Major
About our persona
Hugo started his sophomore year and moved to the
Willow Tree Apartments. He purchased a limited meal
plan, when his hometown dish Frankenmuth Chicken
was served at Bursley one day. He soon got bored of
Bursley, as his favourite bites were not served daily. He
checked the menu daily on his Android phone, but he
sometimes forgot, and only found out later that he
missed again! He wished someone could tell him if it is
worthy to go to the dining hall everyday.
In the future, he wants to save time looking through
menus while he will never miss his favourite dishes.
3. Key Problem
Hugo finds it
time-consuming to look
through the menus for
his favourite dish
Motivation
Hugo has no way to be notified
when his favourite dish is
served without manually
checking
4. Hugo is surviving by...
Manually checking Bursley menu everyday in hope that
his favourite dish will be served
5. I won’t waste
my time &
meal plan
I won’t miss
my best bites
Key Use Case
I want to be notified when my
favourite dishes are served
So that...

longer need to check the menu for his favourite food.
