What Problem will this app solve?
1. User side
Typical college students tend to hang out with people they have strong connection with, such as 'same class', 'same major', 'same club'. In order to make new friends, students mostly use the certain event, so called 'Meeting', which depends hardly on 'bridge person' between two teams. By providing a easy way of meeting random person in same college, students can have large variety of friend pool and also, most importantly, it's fun. (and maybe discount from restarants)
2. Restarant side
Restaurants in songdo tend to change a lot because of relatively high montly bill. Restaurants who offer delivery have their way of advertising and attractin customers through the famous app called '배달의민족'. But the ones without delivery service rely on blog marketing and Naver. But students tend to use restarants they have heard of by the other students. These restaurants can enlarge their sales by advertising through Chic-Chok app. Users don't really have a choice of restarant in the process of meeting. With the purpose of 'random' and 'fun', students will accept the chosen restarant.
Design vision and emotional impact goals
This app gives user an experience of truly randomized meeting with fun aspect of awknowledging each other. They are not supposed to make any decision except confirming or declining predecided meeting time. The app makes all the hard decisions on behalf of the users(When to meet, what to eat, how to recognize each other). User can concentrate on the person right beside.
