Lunchmates
Lunch exchange platform with networking
Office workers face various challenges during their lunch break. These challenges include limited meal times, repeated meal options, and missing opportunities to network and communicate with colleagues. The app solves these problems by helping users quickly find different meal options after sharing their lunch plans, while also providing new networking opportunities.

DISCOVERY
User research
To understand the current problems and identify the user needs, we conducted an in-depth interview with 4 office workers. We focused on the problems of the difficulties related to their lunch at work.
Sometimes, I have lunch around 5pm. I know it’s not ideal, but I can’t help it.
I often choose to have lunch at my desk and to do less intense work, like responding to emails, even though I’m aware it’s not healthy.
I love cooking; it is like therapy. But sometimes, I get bored with the food I cook because it’s the same recipe repeated.
I like to make new friends, so I’d like to have more networking opportunities during my lunch break.
Define
Based on the in-depth user interviews, we narrowed our focus to identifying the current status in setting clear project goals.
