Idea Napkin

Who am I?-Hello, my name is Aaron as I have said before I am a sophomore here a UF majoring in Biotechnology. As I have said before in my previous posts cooking is a large hobby. I was home a lot as a kid and due to that, I had to spend a large period of my life cooking meals for myself. Whenever I had the free time, I would watch Gordon Ramsey or other chef’s on tv and jot down their recipes. As I grew older, I started experimenting more, creating my own recipes and cooking at a larger scale for my friends and family. So, when it comes to home cooking, I have the experience to back what I speak of. As far as teaching I am a tutor and founder of a club at my high school meaning I already have experience in teaching and leadership. What I want to do is teach young adults that cooking is an amazing experience that can also be way more cost effective than the alternatives. If my business was to take off it would be a pretty integral part of my life, as important as my other obligations. Because in order to provide the best experience as possible I need to put the work in.

What am I offering to customers?- What I am offering is a cooking club/ class that will teach young adults how to cook fresh, easy and, cost-effective three-course meals. Also, by paying their dues, students will have access to our patreon page where you will find updates about the class along with dozens of video and non-video recipes that I will not teach in the class.

Who is my product for?- My product is for young adults (college students) who due to laziness, fear of harm, or life circumstances (cultural differences, overwhelming workload) never learned how to cook.

Why should you buy my product?- The reason why my product should be purchased is the value. To be able to pay 7 dollars a month and have access to a class that is open and judgement free , where they will cook three-course meals (materials and cooking tools provided) be able to take the food the food home, a patreon page with both written and video recipes, and be able to take the meals you cook and feed the homeless. In my opinion that is a bargain that no other culinary club on campus will provide. Other clubs will have you focus on how great the food “they” cook is. I want to show all young adults that the meals they cook themselves can taste great.

Core competencies-The thing that distinguishes my club/ class from others like it their priorities. Other culinary clubs just draw you in with the promise of free or cheap food that they get to watch be made. The priority of my club/class is to make sure that the food is made by the students hand themselves and they still get to enjoy a cheap delicious meal. Also, the added value of the patreon page with all the recipes and the fact that we will also make meals to feed the homeless adds a priceless value, because anytime we have the opportunity to give back to the community, we should take it.

Conclusion

Overall, I thoroughly believe that all the elements of my idea work well together because of the research and interviews I have done. If my idea were never cultivated, I would never have made the additions I made to my idea. Also, I believe that my idea works so well due to the fact that all the components of the idea are modeled to give back. I am giving back the time I spent learning how to cook to my students, in return the students will take the knowledge they learn and use that to give back to the community by feeding the homeless. The central idea is giving back and the idea just flows together.
