Plateform
Grand Challenge – Royal College of Art
Description
Plateform connects and empowers local culinary talent through learning and discovery, fostering economic growth within Hounslow.
Problem
Hounslow's diverse culinary talent is underutilised, while Heathrow's in-flight catering lacks authenticity and freshness. This disconnect limits local economic benefit and offers generic passenger dining experiences.
Solution
This platform connects Hounslow's culinary community to Heathrow's catering needs. It functions as a learning hub for local talent and allows chefs to scout new talent. By enabling self-learning, cultural representation through cooking, and competition for opportunities, the app fosters a community-driven catering system. This uplifts the local economy and provides passengers with fresh, culturally specific meals.
