In Japan, people commonly visit the grocery store approximately 2-3 times more per week than the average American. People typically purchase smaller quantities, often times the food they plan to eat that day. Buying smaller quantities results in less planning, so People are commonly looking for new ideas for that night’s meal.
To facilitate this process, we designed a store-based kiosk that helps shoppers find recipes based on an ingredient or a particular product on sale. For example, when broccoli is on sale, there is a recipe specific to broccoli that is made available on that particular day.
Once a recipe is selected, each ingredient is located on a printable map of the store. The system offers the total experience of selecting, purchasing, cooking and eating from the store.
