A platform that connects food producers with the public
A startup in the UK called farmdrop delivers fresh food of your choice within 19 hours. This offer is different because all food is sustainably sourced, you can choose the producer, the producer gets the majority of the price rather than a supermarket and delivery is by all electric vans -which can be within one hour intervals. https://www.farmdrop.com/

Fine dining with kids
Nibble+squeak?hosts dining events for babies, toddlers, and young children. Their mission is to get new parents out, dining at restaurants they loved pre-kids. Their events are part of a broader effort to create more spaces in society where little ones are welcome and parents can relax. Since the events tend to take place either in a private room or before the restaurant opens to the public, they are an attractive proposition to restaurants because they provide a new source of revenue. www.fastcompany.com/40524680/this-startup-wants-to-make-dining-out-with-a-toddler-less-of-a-nightmare

A restaurant under a waterfall
It was surprising to see this restaurant in the Nan Lian Garden HK today, under a waterfall. It's called Chi Lin and it's noted for an organic vegetarian menu. When visiting the garden it's advised to book in advance, particularly if you'd like the waterfall view!

A restaurant that makes its own noodles
We saw this worker in a shop front making noodles in Hanoi Rd HK. Next door is the Japanese restaurant. It?s interesting because there?s a queue to get in but no name in English- only in Japanese. Seems they don?t need to market this restaurant- the prices are good!

Cake slice serving plate
A new plate design could solve the problem of cake slices breaking and falling down. There is often a problem of serving cake slices after cutting a cake. A lot of cake is left behind on the plate at the time of serving cake slices. This problem could be solved with a?triangle shaped slicing template than slides down to cut and stays in place as each cake slice is removed and served.

Facial recognition for more personalised service
The faces of customers at Sydney's Bahista Cafe are scanned by an iPad as they approach the barista at the coffee machine. Instantly the customer's name, favourite order and whether they are due for a loyalty reward flashes up on another iPad facing staff. Business at the cafe has significantly increased following introduction of this new service. http://www.smh.com.au/small-business/smallbiz-tech/facial-recognition-with-your-takeaway-coffee-20171221-h08qb5.html
