As a newcomer to the city she found herself overwhelmed with the never ending list of things to do, but most of all, she struggled to navigate the maze of Shanghai’s food community and restaurants.
初来上海的Kamilla 被这座城市的缤纷美食所吸引,对她来说,生活最大的魅力是——在上海这个巨大的迷宫里找寻真正的人间美味。
Kamilla is a lover of both food and meeting new people. She sees food as a catalyst for connection and building relationships, believing that by eating with new people we are more likely to try new foods. The problem is dining solo is not always enjoyable, but a common reality for many. People have invested a lot of time and energy searching for tasty meals and hungry folks to join in. And in her words “the struggle is real.”
Kamilla 热衷于以食会友。她认为,食物是人与人之间关系的桥梁。我们都想结交有趣的新朋友,一起品尝周围的美食,却难以避免一人食的孤单。所以我们花费了很多的时间和精力去搜罗美食,以及愿意一起享受美味的伙伴。这一切用Kamilla的话来说:“The struggle is real”(大家都不容易)。
Enter DIVE (饭吧), a real-time matchmaking tool and communications platform for hungry people, it essentially pairs you up with a foodie nearby so you don’t have to eat alone. Kamilla has partnered up with two other team members working out of Vancouver and has secured an awesome Co-Founder/Lead iOS Engineer, who happens to be from one of highest ranking apps in the U.S. to found DIVE (饭吧) here in Shanghai.
DIVE (饭吧),饿了我们帮你找吃的,吃得寂寞了我们帮你约小伙伴。不再一人食,不再闷在屋内循环吃一样的外卖,我们帮你找到真正的人民美食家,预定最棒棒的餐厅,找个人陪你吃饭!
DIVE (饭吧),是一款高级定制约饭和社交的实时app。为吃货们快速配对,不再需要漫长的等待和提前计划,不再孤零零地面对食物,吃货美食家就在24小时on call。Kamilla 和她的团队,目前正在积极筹备约饭app。两位来自温哥华的美食家,一位本土的资深吃货。当然他们也有强大的技术支持,DIVE (饭吧)更是牵手美国最畅销的app开发团队作为Lead iOS engineer 为中国用户量身定制。
Being early stage, the product is still a work in progress, but their small team, spread out across two continents, is working exceptionally hard on making things happen. They believe the world needs better designed mobile products and smarter services driven by AI and Natural Language. The goal is to help users match successfully and meet offline, but they are also starting to design and develop robots within the application, creating an awfully fun experience in case you can’t find a match nearby. The users will engage in natural, playful conversations, challenges and activities while getting back data they’ve implemented.
产品已在进行早期开发和完善,这个身处两大洲的团队正非常努力地将理想转变为现实。他们坚信通过卓越的用户互动经验,可以为吃货设计出更好的移动终端产品和智能定制服务。从线上配对到线下约饭他们一手包办,更设计开发app中的聊天小伙伴,即使你找不到饭友,也会有个可爱的DIVE虚拟美食家陪你吃饭。当然DIVE虚拟美食家可能是个帅小伙,也可能是个萌妹子,可以是任何你意想不到的衷心吃货小伙伴。
The product’s features will range from having the user, aka diver, spend time with local foodie insiders and taste the foods in a whole new light, having fun with a robot, and post event reviewing process. Kamilla says that “Overall, we’re trying to build a very unique approach to dining out by making it more fun, efficient, and exciting. Every time you eat out you get to the next level. Plus, we’re always cooking up something fresh and fun, a never ending foodie game.”
这个产品提供给用户(即美食搜寻者)与当地真正的美食家交流的机会,以全新的方式体验美食,与虚拟美食家DIVE趣味互动,并分享整个体验过程,累积点数,更有惊喜不断。Kamilla告诉我们:“总的来说,我们想创造一种独特的在外用餐体验,有趣、有效并让这个app成为大家生活的一部分。每一次约饭都会是意想不到的完美体验。我们也会持续更新,构建一个新奇、有趣、永无止境的吃货和美食家的互动平台。”
