Week2-JackArey

Design Activity

1.  Name: Bear’s Den Burger
2.  Map the System:
   1. Order an item from the grill station
   2. Workers make the food and pack it or collect order from pre-made food like fries or chicken strips.
   3. Meal is placed in plastic container and wrapped in foil.
   4. Meal is paid for at registers.
   5. Meal is eaten and containers disposed of in trash or recycling bins.
3.  Identify costs:
   1. Labor costs directly for workers when ordering food.
   2. Additional labor in shipping and delivery of food to the Bear’s den
   3. Consumption of resources in delivery/packing of food. Likely uses a lot of plastics and other non-sustainable materials.
   4. Consumption and waste in food packages. Styrofoam boxes
   5. Potential food waste in portion sizes.
4. Make One Change:
   1. Adapt system to a more buffet style service so that customer only take an amount of food they actually want to eat as well as eliminating need for styrofoam containers.
