Project Description
Our project is to help the Worcester Regional Food Hub (WRFH) by recommending them a POS system as well as presenting research on online retail outlets such as Grubhub and Instacart. The WRFH is moving to Union Station in 2023, and will have a new retail store, thus prompting the need for a POS system. The goal of the WRFH is to make opportunities through food, and online ordering will help expand the retail capabilities and get food to more people.
