Introduction
Inspired by Tang Dynasty night markets, we're reviving this culture with a modern mobile app, elevating the night dining experience. Our app offers online reservations, custom menus, and live cooking for a convenient and enjoyable nightlife. By focusing on night consumption and enhancing takeaway experiences, we aim to benefit both merchants and residents. We identified three key categories: mobile retail, service on the go, and immersive experiences.
Research Insights
Then, in order to clarify the need of Shanghai community residents, we conducted an online survey and offline resident interviews. Through research, we found one issue most residents were concerned about: 61.2% were unsatisfied with the night food experience.
