The Birth of "Instafood Machine"
An automatic burger french-fries and drinks machine in one!
ORIGIN OF THE IDEA
Introduction...
Nowadays, burger and
french-fries have become a demand food in the society especially here in the Philippines. Burger is one of the main foods Western people eat every day, and now, of the whole world. Those foods are
brought to us by the Americans during their governance here in our country. As time continues running, varieties of burgers and French fries are created for the satisfaction of the
consumers.
Studies and Surveys show that two of the very in-demand foods here in the Philippines are Burger and French Fries.
That's why with the increase demand of these foods, there is also an increase demand in fast food chains. Wherever you go and wherever you look, there's always a fast
food chains accessible to people in different corners. On the other hand, business owners are really benefiting due to the continuous increase with their sales
Due to those trends, the idea of creating a machine that will automatically produces burger and fries pop-up from my mind.
