Iteration Goals

WHAT
We want to develop an app for english speaking tourists that can review restaurants. This app will include features such as menu translations, a forum for food-related discussion and the ability to earn points (pie points) by giving valid reviews and menu translations.

WHO
The application will focus on English speaking tourists coming to China. These tourists are unable to speak Chinese and require the application to help them find nearby restaurants will simple Chinese to English translations and comprehensive reviews.

WHY
Better food experience for tourists in China. We want to help the user choose food that suits their taste. Our app allows the user to chose a restaurant based on reviews to ensure the quality of a product. The app will provide a forum section for the user to discover new food and resturants.

WHERE
Our main focus will be in Australia and China with menu translations in English.

WHEN
The apps main purpose is to be used when the user is in search of high-quality food near their current location. The app will be most popular during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

HOW
By having a database of restaurants and their locations and details. These locations will need reviews and translations. We will need to research the local food industries and applications that offer similar features.
