My name is Helen Smith.
I work for a packaging company.
We manufacture self sealing polybags.
In a recent New Product Development meeting I suggested we manufacture a brand new product that I don’t believe is available on the market today.
THE DOGGY BAG: To manufacture self sealing polybags, they would be white polythene, approx 50 micron, approx A4 size (maybe a little smaller) printed with a dog on with the text The Doggy Bag. The bags would be supplied in blocks with a perforation where you can tear them off and hung on stands in retaurants.
I thought we could manufacture 3 types of doggy bags to suit different restaurants;
1) A picture of a cartoon dog with fun bold text for restaurants like Zaks, Pizza Hut, Weatherspoons etc where families dine
2) A picture of a dog which would be a black silhouette with posh looking text for restaurants like Bella Italia, Harvesters, Tiger Tiger etc
3) To manufacture a doggy bag of the restaurants choice with personalisation
I think this idea is perfect for 3 types of person:
1) The older generation – older people don’t always eat as much and often have left overs that they don’t like seeing go to waste, my Nanny ordered Gammon, Egg & chips in a restaurant but couldn’t eat all the gammon so wrapped it up in a tissue to take home
2) The dog lover- Most people will dogs often like to take some dinner home, usually meat of course but this is very popular!
3) People that just don’t like waste!
I like the idea of bags being hung up on stands around the restaurant as people don’t like to ask “Can i have a doggy bag”, if they were available there would be no shame in taking one of the stand and using.
Another positive: Restaurants wouldn’t have so much waste!
This questions is posted on Yahoo to ask the public’s opinion of this idea before my company move my idea forward, sensible answers only please.
The more answers the better, especially looking for answers from people who own or work in a resaturant.
Thank you for reading.
