Notes de l'éditeur
Lamique: New Yorkers want it all by any means necessary. They want it something they can brag about, they want something that’s unique to them.
You could position this as an alternative to hosting dinner parties. People love hosting dinner parties because they love providing an experience for friends.
You could position this as an alternative to going out to the hottest new Manhattan restaurant. This isn’t viable because people love going out for the sake of going out.
Everything we’re showing you today is a solution to that problem. We’re going to let people know about KitchenSurfing and also SHOW them that it’s an amazing experience.
you have to venture out of your home to find new and exciting experiences
Everything we’re showing you today is a solution to that problem. We’re going to let people know about KitchenSurfing and also SHOW them that it’s an amazing experience.
This is how we arrived at our strategy for Kitchen Surfing.
Out of over 2,000 millennials surveyed.
Constantly connected millennials crave experiences that stimulate the senses.
These people are known for spending vacations on the couches of strangers, outdoing friends on social media to see who can push the boundaries of what’s “doable.” Where can they find the next great experience?
In a world of GMOs, funky fast-food chicken, and pro-biotics, people want complete transparency about their food - they want to be closer to it and know exactly where it comes from.
Consumer gets not only the back story behind their meal, your food, your chef, but get to EXPERIENCE the food.
You get to meet the chef who prepares your food, experience the process of your food being made - the sights, the sounds, the story behind the meal. Food is no longer a pre-going-out staple - with Kitchen Surfing, it’s an event in and of itself.
Right now, Kitchen Surfing is focusing on the food and the cuisines it offers. We want to shift the strategic idea to food as an experience. Inspire people to buy experiences rather than food.
Pop up shops in places like SoHo, Morningside Heights, Madison Square
Chef will identify with Kitchen Surfing during demos
At Farmer’s market, chef can use some of produce and show what they can do with it
