There are quite a few limitations that students face where food is involved. Two major obstacles are limited means of transportation and blocking out time to shop amidst homework, sports obligations, or extracurricular activities. Most institutions provide on-campus dining, but this option is expensive and often the available food choices are unhealthy or unable to be eaten by individuals with medical conditions or dietary restrictions.
More recently, COVID-19 has also greatly impacted the availability of diverse and nutritious food options due to newly enforced safety protocols. It can be very dangerous for those of us at risk to go to grocery stores, and even those of us who are healthy risk exposure from traveling to the store. Cruisine effectively stands to work as a solution to both of these modern issues.
Nationwide, college students don't have easy access to healthy food options while attending their universities.
In response to this issue, our company Platinum Inc. created Cruisine, a non-contact way to order groceries and have it directly delivered from the store of your choosing to any college campus.

Platinum Inc. aims to deliver not only to college students, but eventually families and the elderly as well.
Places like assisted living facilities and apartment complexes also tend to have cafeterias or meal plans, and tend to be located near "fast food" facilities with more convenience than standard grocery stores.

BEST INVESTMENT OF MY LIFE!

I was a bit skeptical at first with allowing other people to hadle my grocery shopping needs, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see how inviting the customer service is! Deliveries to my college campus make is so much easier to eat healthier options rather than the same old school meals!

Bi-Weekly User 1-Year Member
Crusine is one of the best investments I've ever had it my life! Being in college studying for my Ph.D. I've been trying to find ways to save every penny I can on expenses. I never knew how much money I've wasted on gas to the grocery store and back, AND on needless snacks and eye-candy sales. With Crusine I can pay attention to my studies to successfully get by degree without having to stress wasting hundreds of dollars on trips to the store!

Trial Crusier
I'm a new user to Crusine but I have to say it's certainly growing on me! It's another errand simplified into a couple simple steps: Write up what groceries you need, plug it into Crusine, wait for the fresh ingredients to arrive! What more can I need?
John Larson
Weekly User 6-Month User
It marks about half a year since I picked up Crusine, and I need to say, I never want to go back! Great for those last-minute occassions you've forgotten to prepare for, such as a family party or a home-cooked meal dinner for two! It's certainly saved me in more situations that I can count!

What is required of the customer to use Cruisine?
Cruisine is meant to be as easy-to-use as possible, in which we had decided to simplify the information needed to place an order whilst accounting for the safety of our workers and users. Users will be asked to sign-up once utilizing:
- An Email (Verification Required)
- Full Name
- Password
- Address (Required if the User has Location Services Turned Off)

How do I place an order?
Cruisine pulls up stores near the user (Utilizing either Location Services, an Address, or Search for Store) and they can place an order with the items available. Orders may be placed with only one store at a time. The users can alternatively search for a certain product and find a store that provides it. From selecting that product, they are now locked to shopping within the contents of that store.
Once the user has found all the items that they desire, they can checkout. If customizations are enabled, the following fields will be filled with the user's preferred information, but can be changed:
- Address (Campus and Building)
- Preferred Time Window to Deliver

Cruisine Founders: (TEAM PLATINUM) Colin MacDonald, Erin Alvarico, Elizabeth Bellissimo, Melissa Aguilar
PLATINUM INCORPORATED
Under the supervision of Professor Jim Crowley at Marist College, Platinum Incorporated is a four-person run company maintaining and overseeing Cruisine operations. Given a prompt to assess the current world climate and recurring issues of everyday college students, Platinum came together to create Cruisine in hopes of providing more awareness and encourage individuals to pursue a healthier dining lifestyle. Starting from a conceptual idea, we are currently building Cruisine's website from scratch to ensure that our idea works the way we envisioned it.
