URBAN FOOD COURT

Keitaro Onishi

Using a drone-based food delivery system, converts any place into a ad-hoc food court. Orders are placed using a smartphone app, which are fulfilled and delivered within 10 minutes. Underutilized spaces in the city can be turned into temporary public food courts to attract people. Makes use of the high concentration of restaurants in the Ginza/Shinbashi area.
