FauxBar

Inspiration

We were inspired by our budding entrepreneurial spirit that came from being surrounded by constant innovation. In light of recent events, we were influenced by the growing number of startups in the last three months. We noticed more and more food delivery services becoming popular and realized the issue of increased alcohol consumption due to the convenience of ordering online. Then, we considered how teens must feel not being able to experience their high school lives they way they wanted. As lockdowns will come to an end, people will try to compensate for what they missed out on, which could lead to excessive partying and drinking from teens. So, we want to provide them with a more convenient and safe option.

What it does

FauxBar is a service designed to deliver non-alcoholic beer, wine, and more straight to the location indicated by the shopper. It allows users to browse local stores for non-alcoholic beverages and choose the same item from our menu. Once the user has purchased their drinks, the order will be picked up and delivered to them by our delivery service workers within an hour.

How we built it

We do not have full functionality yet available for our app. So, we have attached a Product Requirements Document entailing all our specifics. We have, however, provided a visual for the base design of our app via Glide.

Challenges we ran into

The main challenge we faced was the lacking of coding knowledge/skill. Because of this, we could not develop our app to full functionality as we would have wanted to see it presented.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of being able to design the app even though we could not provide functionality because none of us have ever worked with Glide before. We also pride ourselves in coming up with a thorough Product Requirements Document to show how much we have thought this idea through.

What we learned

We learned some helpful entrepreneurial tips throughout the weekend with the various workshops, keynote speakers, and panels. We learned the most from working through out project ourselves. We were able to grow by putting ourselves in an accelerated project that we would have otherwise spent more time on. We were able to cooperate and work efficiently with each other as well.

What's next for FauxBar

For us, we want to continue beyond this weekend. We have plans to use the summer to launch a real app developed with a coder. We also want to partner with existing food delivery services to have easy access to delivery people in any part of the country.
