1) I am a student who worked for Starbucks on campus, under Aramark. I know how much food we threw out at the end of the night. I know how this food can be put to good use, like giving it to students who need it. Whenever i took home to my roommates, they loved the extra pastry or panini.
2) Im offering food that goes out at the end of the night from stores like Starbucks or Panda to students at little to no cost.
3) To students who need a little extra dinner, or a snack to keep them going.
4) I believe students will not say no to extra food. And with paying at little costs, it shouldn't be an issue for students who are on a budget.
5) What sets me apart from everyone else is that i am a student in need of food occasionally, so i can relate to the need for people.
I think this idea is flawed, but it could unfurl into something in the future. There are a lot of reasons why this idea cannot be plausible: liabilities, food safety hazards, and Aramark's ever so strict policies. I think i have a lot more to learn and research about this whole idea, so i am unsure how possible this idea can become.

Hello Chloe,
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that you are able to see the flaws in the opportunity you are trying to create for students who reside here in Gainesville. If it were not for policy, I am sure students would love to receive surplus food items with little to no cost. It helps feed those in need while managing the surplus food issue.
Hello Chloe! This was a great read, I thought that even though your words were very brief. You explained yourself in a manner where I was able to understand the gist of your idea. But as I said earlier your words were brief, but it is good to see that you are self-aware of this and that you still have enough passion to stick with your idea. I cannot wait to see how you flesh out your idea.
ReplyDeleteHey Chloe,
ReplyDeleteOnce again, good answer to the question we were asked. Your idea to give out the left over food from certain restaurants in the Gainesville area is a great idea that many students could benefit from! There are some flaws to your idea, but you have already noticed and discussed them. Good Job!
