11A - Idea Napkin No. 1




1)    I think this business of providing alternative options other than paper straws would not only benefit the community as a whole in Gainesville, but encourage surrounding counties to come up with alternative options too. 
2)    We will be solving the unmet need through using eco-friendly straws instead of only paper.
3)    The main “who” in this question involves not only the customer, but the owners of restaurants in Gainesville area. Everyone who owns a restaurant in this city is not allowed to sell regular, so comping up with a solution for another sustainable option will help them.
4)    I think that restaurant owners would pay for these straws, because the satisfaction of the customer would be greater.
5)    Using these products would set apart people from a lot of other business.  Using an eco-friendly only straw, and it not be paper and still help save plastic would be very successful.


I believe that this business concept of providing eco-friendly straws that are not paper would really benefit the community as a whole. Through this, customers would be more satisfied as well as the restaurant owners knowing they are making an impact for the greater good of the community’s sustainability.

  1. Hey Kayla,
    I think it’s really important how you talked about the restaurant owner’s perspective. Most restaurant owners actually pay more for paper straws than they do for plastic straws, so I think they would like your idea very much in addition to the customers that are not fans of paper straws. So it the end both owners and customers would be happier.
