RESEARCH ABSTRACT: In our preliminary research, none of the designs conveyed the tradition and prestige of the hotel with wit. In this respect, we found a way to differentiate our product from the competition.
CHALLENGE: The minimalist design of this product avoids the use of illustrations or photos of food commonly seen on the packaging of ready-to-eat products, and is fitting for high-quality food that has been prepared in the kitchens of prestigious hotels.
