Understanding the problem

"I'm late for class standing in line"

Happy Sunshine is extremely busy during lunch time. After interviewing customers, we learned that customers can stand in line for up to 20 minutes waiting for the food. This is very time consuming, considering customers usually have only 1 hour break for lunch.

“I cannot find the food truck.”

Happy Sunshine has different opening times and multiple locations depending on weekdays. Customers emphasise that they need an easier way to locate the food truck.

“I stand in line for 20 minutes then my order is out-of-stock.”

Somes items are out-of-stock during peak hours. It’s very time-consuming, as well as giving customers a bad experience.

Your Order is ready to Pick-up!

After 10 weeks, we were able to publish "Happy Sunshine Food Truck App" 

We are happy with not only the final products, but also how we are able to such complicated problem, providing an effective solution for customers.
