The Observed Group
• Students dining in Bits and Bytes Café at Hofstra University

Ethnographic Research Observations

Ethnographic Research Interview

• Crowded during the middle of the day
• Need for more cashiers

• Location is near most classes, and has consequently become
very popular
• People dine alone and dine with friends

• Many people become bunched up when deciding on food
• Lines for registers become long and block paths to get to food

• Long register lines also block paths to exit the food area
• Sometimes the cashiers are nowhere to be found

• When people pay with cash it takes much longer
• People dining leave messes, usually when the dining area is
more empty

App Idea
• A system for ordering food once the user is in range of
a dining location
• Connects to a self-service register/pay method

App Idea
• Will lessen time spent ordering meals, preparing, and
paying for meals
