10. INTERVIEW
“Sometimes when I’m scooping
salads and the bowl is super full
I spill a little on the side or even
in the salad next to it. Usually I’m
in a hurry so I just dig in fast and
whatever happens, happens.”
“The only thing that’s tough about
working in the deli is the back
pain from reaching in the cold
case or washing dishes.”
= Back
= Cleaned often
= Storage
“I open the most out of everyone
so putting salads out gets
repetitive and is straining because
I have to bend over to arrange
salads.”

SERVING SALADS
“The case frame is in my way”
“I have to bend over a salad” “I don’t want hair in my food”
How do I get to this salad
This is uncomfortable They are about to touch that
Awkward with how I’m reaching
Pain in my back Grossed out
Spill some salad
Scoop salad fast and sloppy React in a negative way
12. CONCLUSION
Preparing the cold case and closing it up is a
long process
Salad bowls and tags get shifted a lot during a
day
It is uncomfortable to serve almost every salad
What’s our focus?
Create a cold case
that provides an
ergonomic and
functional purpose.

I am a deli worker at Dick’s Fresh Market and I am trying to serve a salad,
but it is difficult to reach far away salads without making a mess. I have to
duck, and stick my body inside the cold case in an uncomfortable manor,
which makes my back hurt and causes me to get fatigued.This effects my
performance with everyday tasks.

14. COLLABORATION
REFRIGERATOR STORAGE under the case!!
Sliding trays might be more stable
Pull down window on deli workers side
Tag on bowl would allow the tray to be
cleaned easier
Covering the front of the case windows at
night would indicate “We’re Closed”
Raised trays would allow for big and small
bowls in the case
IDEATION
15. FINAL COLLABORATION
Riser trays for a more appeal
Covers that fit over tags when closed
Built in cooler to save trips to the main
cooler
4 trays in each case allowing for 8 salads
to be displayed
Window pulls out and slides down
REFINEMENT
16. FINAL DIRECTION
PULL DOWN WINDOW to access salads
by pulling them out on their tracks
2 LEVELS to appeal more to the customer
and provide variety in bowl size
BUILT IN COOLER to store back-up salads
allowing time and space to be saved
TAGS ATTACH TO BOWLS preventing a
sloppy display of messy tags.
BOWL COVERS that fit over tag for
overnight storing.
TRAYS ON TRACKS allowing you to keep
posture while serving a salad

18. WHY IS OUR CASE BETTER?
Doesn’t create fatigue throughout the day elliminating back strain
Cuts the opening and closing process in half allowing more time for
preparing salads and providing customer service
Creates a more professional display for salads, which makes the deli
more inviting
Saves room in main cooler for more storage
The deli could be open longer because closing won’t take as long
