It’s been two challenging weeks since the bootcamp started, and I must say, it has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Presently, we all are feeling a bit satisfied because, we have gotten somewhere even if we haven’t gotten there.

I remember in a virtual meeting where every sub lead and assistant sub lead for each track in the team were present. After the discussion on the purpose of the meeting, the group lead said and I quote “I know we are not supposed to be thinking about money yet, but how will we make profit from this project?” then another person replied and said “if we offer value, there is no amount we wouldn’t get”.

That was another motivation for me! I know we are creating magic and we are all putting our absolute best into this project. I joined the bootcamp because I needed the experience and I’m sure it is the same for many others in the team. But now, seeing this project, how far we have come and all the effort we are putting into this, I want more! We all want more from this project.

I want you to see for yourself all what we have done in the past two weeks. Below is what every track has done in a not so detailed manner.

• DIGITAL MARKETERS

The digital marketers have been working non-stop to carry out their task. They have been able to come up with a social media strategy, a one-month social media content calendar, various copies for the project and have created social media accounts for the application on various platforms, LinkedIn, twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

• PRODUCT MANAGERS

They started their task by carrying out a survey for both the restaurant owners and the customers using google forms. From the information analyzed from the survey, they created buyer personas, PRD and user flow.

They also created a Miro account for the documentation of their work which was also used in creating the user flow.

They faced challenges with people in other tracks editing the documentation of their work. The document was shared to them to help them carry out their own task. But they surmounted that by changing the settings of the documents to editors only.

• GRAPHICS DESIGNERS

They have been able to create a brand identity design for the app, create a design plan and also designed various flyers, including the team members flyer for the social media contents.

• CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGERS

The CRMs have also successfully carried out their task for the first and second week. They have successfully picked a CRM tool and also compiled likely FAQs that might be asked by the potential users and have been able to answer them.

• VIDEO ANIMATORS

A video animation about some functions and features of the application was made by them.

They made an audio from balabolka, edited it with audacity and then the whole video was created. It was quite a challenging and tasking process for them, but it all paid off. Because, the result was awesome, they learnt a lot and it was quite interesting.

Check our social media pages for the video.

Their first task was to create an anticipation video for the product. But due to multiple edits of the product objectives in the first week, they were unable to use the content created for the anticipation video by the content creators.

Adding mechanism video was also quite an issue for them, because they haven’t done it before. But with team work and more studying, they were able to create a good content.

• DATA ANALYST

The data analysts carried out a research on users’ preferences and preferred options for the platform, security and notification type, to get insights on how to develop the application.

• PRODUCT DESIGNERS(UI/UX)

The product designers have been able to come up with the low and high-fidelity wireframes for the application. They have also completed the login screen and the dashboard screen.

The challenge they are facing is that, most restaurants management applications are web applications, so trying to fit those features into a mobile application and make it look good is quite tedious. I hope they overcome this challenge.

• BACKEND ENGINEERS

They wrote a detailed explanation on how the features in the model should look like, using an Entity Rational Diagram (ERD).

They also created an API which has a default end point.
