Problems:

1.Safety in Restaurant: Post covid people will be more concerned about safety.
2.Privacy in Restaurant: People don't get proper privacy/us time they want in an open dine-in restaurant.
3.Judgement issue: Mostly couples & party goers get judged/stared in an open restaurant.

Our Project:

A private space in a hotel/guest house to couples,party goers & families to have their food & us time together with zero disturbance or interaction with others with complete safety, privacy & security & a single centralised kitchen in the same building to serve in all the rooms.

Our project can elevate humanity:

We can change the world for a better tomorrow where much needed privacy & safety will be given top most priority.

Problem:

1. No Safety in open Restaurant: Post covid-19, people will be more concerned about safety & it will become huge when they will have to go to an open restaurant to have their dine-in experience where they will have to touch menus, interact with other people, will sit in the used couch, will be near to other people, do the billing in the counter & will have to interact with others also no idea about how the food in prepared inside the kitchen.
2. No Private space to enjoy: Most of the time Travellers or general people wanted to get a place where they can freely enjoy or chill-out for few hours with full privacy. When people generally got stuck in a city & have some free tiem to spare.
3. Judgement Issue: Mostly couples,party goers or even families get judged/stared by other people in an open restaurant, which creates an discomforting/embarrassing moment for the people who are being stared. This simply spoils the mood to enjoy.

Pie Rooms is based on the concept of Contactless Private Restaurant in a private room. We provide private dine-in experience to our customers which means we are going to modify guest houses in a private restaurant. So each rooms will consist of sofa, dining able & the interior of the room will be like a resturant.

It will consist of enough fun amenities like speakers, games(both online & offline), netflix etc to chill, enjoy & have fun.

I have been seeing this problem for many years, whenever i go to a restaurant people preferred private room in that restaurant more than the open space & now due to covid this problem has got more potential as people will be more worried going to an open restaurant & also upon doing some research we got to know that people want a private space to chill-out for few hours. That's how we came up with this plan.

Hospitality is the one which is worst hit by covid19. Also i have been noticing this problem for many years. So re-discovering the dying hospitality segment with more customer satisfaction is what keeps me motivted.

 I studied Interior Designing from Fashion & Apparel Technology, CET,bhubaneswar, India. This gave me the opportunity to work in some good interior designing projects & to study the behavior, needs & requirements of a user in  a room. Also my family background is from hospitality industry. 

This is our 4th plan we are working on. So after doing pivots for 3 times we came up with this idea. We did it because we were not getting good response from our users & now users are loving it. 

During the starting days of our venture we were not able to find a tech guy for our website. After approaching almost 80 people & 20 companies to make our app we finally got a perfect company to help us with our app for free of cost & also they are providing us mentorship too. They agreed because they liked our dedication to make it happen.

So i was organising an event in our college. After working in it for around 1 week our whole team got frustated due to the huge work load. They came to me with full of frustration & started shouting at me so, after looking at their problems i came up with some solutions which i explained them cooly & calmly, motivated them & showed them the way how it can be done. Due to this all their frustrations reduced & they performed well. Finally we were able complete the event sucsessfully & they appreciated my ways of working & how i handled things & wanted to again work with me in some other events.
