Your Canvas

1 · The problem

The lunch queue at our canteen often lasts most of the break. I timed it on two days and counted who gave up and left.

2 pieces of evidence

2 · The customer

Students who buy a hot lunch, especially those with clubs straight after eating.

3 · Your fix

Pre-order slips handed in at morning registration; bagged lunches wait on a pickup shelf by the door.

4 · Costs and price

Fee per order: 0.50
Profit each: 0.40
Break-even: 50 orders

5 · Your test

Run pre-orders for two classes for five school days and count orders each day.

6 · Result

130 orders over five days (14, 22, 31, 29, 34). I passed break-even on day 3. Next time I would ask the canteen staff first.

Timing the queue on two days is real evidence, and it is the strongest part of this canvas. The test plan needed a number that would prove you wrong before you started. Writing it after day 2 makes the result easy to explain away.

Your break-even maths checks out. The risk you didn’t cover is the canteen itself: if the staff say no to the shelf, the plan stops. Talk to them before round two.

Orders climbed from 14 to 34 in a week, but two classes is a small group. Would the shelf still work with ten classes? A second week with more classes would tell you.
