A Dining Experience that Brought Students Back to School
What did we do?
Sent buffet-style dining packing and created a unique food hall dining experience
Researched Gen Z and Millennial food habits to inform the design and ensure each concept fit into the overall food hall experience
Developed a unique brand identity for each food concept
Used operations engineering to design each concept to feel as if it stands alone from the student’s perspective
The way to a student’s heart is through their stomachs
