Problem Definition

"What are the challenges Young Adults in Boston face when pursuing a nutritionally balanced lifestyle?"

Limited Time for Meal Prep

Busy work and study schedules leave little time for cooking, often leading to reliance on fast food or processed meals that lack nutrition.

Inadequate Kitchen Facilities

Shared or small apartment kitchens often lack the necessary space or equipment, discouraging young adults from cooking balanced meals.

Lack of Nutrition Knowledge

Limited understanding of nutrition and healthy meal planning makes it challenging to create balanced and nourishing meals.

Primary Research

Understand user scenarios

In order to figure out how best to serve young adults seeking kitchen space, we conducted surveys and user interviews with 44 individuals in Boston. The findings helped us come up with the value proposition of facilitating easy access to well-equipped kitchens for friends to cook and dine together.
