The Grind

This week was all about preparing for our presentation for Mr.Reed, Mr.Thomas, Mrs.Williams and many other teachers. We took the mini business plan we made the previous week and decided what were the most important points from it. We also discussed what would be the most valuable points from our lean canvas and what would be the best presentation format to use. We ended up choosing Prezi to display our presentation for the teachers and picked the most important parts from our business plans. All this planning was done on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, we went through a dry run of out presentation and prepared ourselves for difficult questions and problems that could occur or be brought up in our meeting. We were not completely prepared for our presentation, because we only have five or six slides, so we will need to make sure that is done by the time we return from Spring Break. Our initial launch date had been immediately following the return of Spring Break, but now we have realized it will need to be pushed back a few days in order to meet and make decisions with regards to location and supplies.

Husky BuyPass - Presentation & Launch Date

During class today we presented our business plan and felt like we were on the right track. We will make a few minor edits that were suggested from the class such as detailing how we pivoted our business in our Powerpoint.

We are planning on launching our business officially the first week when we get back from Spring Break. Our website is well underway and development should not be too time-intensive.

Food? Food.

Today we talked about the meetings that Annie had. We have found two possible alternatives to using service hours to entice students to work at the Igloo when our business is using the space. The two alternatives are giving " Husky Bucks" which can be used to purchase food at the coffee shop and offer discounts to those who volunteer to work.
We found out a possible place to store the perishable foods. We are thinking up ideas of where to store the excess food at the end of the day.
