The quick-and-dirty food-to-donate flow we designed & tested in just 1 week of research!
users: company event admins with leftover food to donate (food donors)
problem: when large amounts of safe, prepared food goes to waste, we need a way to be alerted to come pick it up to be delivered to a food bank or shelter
goal: prepare for initial mobile app development, leading to automated business operations: help food and beverage admins schedule food donation pickups
food donor outcomes:
-
select food donation type and vehicle size requirement for pickup
-
confirm pickup location and timing
product features:
-
donation detail entry (food type) and vehicle size selection (amount)
-
pickup scheduling (location & time)
lesson learned:
-
it can be hard for founders to focus on MVP – it’s like asking them to choose their favorite children
