Idea Napkin No. 1

Hey my name is William Mercer and I'm an econ student at UF.  I think I am a creative thinker who finds out of the box answers for different problems.  I have some past experience with ensuring customers are happy with my past internship at a coffee company.  My idea is called Food2U and it is a service that will go grocery shopping for you and deliver the food to you.  If i were to make this business I would need to first make the website and hopefully find drivers/shoppers that will work for me.  I will offer this business to any customers within a certain mileage radius of different grocery stores (similar to how pizza places deliver).  This will be a great benefit to customers who don't have time to shop or just don't want to go shopping.  This is a great service for people who are busy or lazy.
I will make sure to promote Food2U a lot.  Just relying on word of mouth alone won't be beneficial.  I will set up multiple advertisements around the UF campus and try to get in some coupon books at local businesses.

    Hey there Will,

    I really enjoyed reading about you idea. I think it is incredibly thoughtful. My wife and I absolutely despise grocery shopping, mainly because of our time constraints. There really never seems to be an ideal time to go to the store. I think your idea is awesome in that this could be such a wonderful service for elderly people, as well as disabled, or otherwise incapacitated folks too (i.e. someone had to send the vehicle to the shop for a week or two is one example I thought of). I just think it could end up being such an invaluable service to so many people. Great job and best of luck!

    Hi Will,

    I think you have an excellent idea. This is something I would be interested in getting, and I think that you have the right demographics to make it succeed. Things do seem to be shifting away from going places towards conveniently ordering from work or home. I would suggest making an app a focal point of your business. Sort of like what Uber has done. Fantastic job! Here is a link to my blog if you're interested:

    Hey Will! This is a great idea. Something similar recently started up in my home town and to help spread the word they got onto the local news. They presented it as something that would help the elderly who can't drive anymore but also mentioned how it would be helpful for everyone. Just an idea, I hope this helps!
