Sheetz App Proposal

1. Sheetz App on smart phones

2. How it works
This app will run on all smart phones. It will include
your location and the Sheetz location. With this app
you will be able to order Sheetz ahead of time from
the MTO item. The item you ordered will be ready in
8 minutes from when you submitted it. The app will
then give you your ticket with your number on it and
a barcode to scan when you get to the door so the
customer can pay. The app will also allow you to plug
in your Sheetz card to get money off gas. The app will
be free for download and it will also make Sheetz
money if people download the app.

3. Sheetz App look like
This is the Sheetz App logo and
what it will look like on your Smart
Phone. Just like any other app on a
Smart Phone it will look very similar.

5. Karen Fallier said it would be great for an app like that
to help Sheetz get more customers in there store and
it would cut down the waiting time when you order
from the store. She also said it would be great
because they would have the order number as well as
the barcode to scan it at the register. The one
concern of hers was if the customer orders and then
they never show up to pick the order up and pay. That
is one thing the app will have to work on to improve.
Overall, she did like the idea of an app that’ll increase
Sheetz profit.

6. Alex Hainault a student at Saint Francis University said
this would be a great idea for the students on
campus. Saint Francis is so close to the Cresson
Sheetz and the students here would love to be able
to place an order ahead of time so they are not
waiting in line. Plus it would still save the customer
money on there Sheetz card. The concern Alex had
about the app was if intoxicated students ordered on
the app and then did not go and pick it up or forgot
about the order. Alex agreed with the idea of the app
and said he wished that it was a real thing on your
smart phone.

7. Michael Casper the head Men’s Soccer Coach said this
would be a great money maker for the company of
Sheetz. He thought this would be a good idea for
people on the road traveling to places. They can order
there food quick go into Sheetz and pick it up without
wasting anymore time in the store. The one concern
he had with the app was how would people find out
about the app and would they actually use it. That is
how Sheetz will make money if people actually use
the app. Other than that he likes the idea and thinks it
has more positives than negatives.

8. Conclusion
After talking to a manager and customers of Sheetz, I
think this idea would be a good way for Sheetz to
make more money. The process of making the app
will be to get linked with Sheetz and make sure we
advertise the app properly so it gets a good amount
of exposure. Also the app will need to find a way to
make it possible that people cannot order and then
not come to pick it up. Overall, I think this app will be
great for Sheetz and I think this would be a good way
for them to make revenue.
