National Tsing Hua University held the " Tsing Hua Entrepreneurship Day" on May 31, attracting all the university students from all over Taiwan. This year is the 6th Tsing Hua Entrepreneurship Day Competition, which has two major categories of innovation and entrepreneurship, there were 11 groups participated in both categories. Among them, Li Wenbin, a doctoral student of Tsing Hua Motivation Department, invented the microfluidic chip that solved the drug resistance of bacteria, and won the first prize of the Entrepreneurship Competition Comprehensive Group; the "Green Pepper Express" team established by Tsing Hua University's freshmen Chen Weizhong, Ma Weiping and Cai Huizhen won the most innovative prize.

 

 

Due to the development of the delivery platform, people now prefer to order meals on delivery platforms to save time. The main purpose of the "Green Pepper Express" team was to solve the problem of inconvenient dining for students at NTHU and NCTU. Just join the Line group chat of "Green Pepper Express", fill in the online form to order, and pay very little shipping fee. The team members will take the meal to the designation you select.

 

Different from UberEats and foodpanda, requiring higher delivery fee, "Green Pepper Express" only require 5 NTD delivery fee. The cheap delivery fee and convenient service are attractive to most of the student. Moreover, another main reason that it is popular is that students can choose to pick up their food near classroom and dormitory.

 

 From the establishment to the present, the team has grown to 24 people, and there are 16 off-campus cooperative stores. In addition to convenience and low shipping costs, the team advocates environmental protection, cooperates with cooperative stores to use eco-friendly tableware, and regularly recycles and washes, greatly reducing once. The use of the tableware bowls is a part of the earth's environmental protection. When promoting eco-friendly tableware, there are not many shops that are willing to cooperate with them. It may be that students have low acceptance, and there are problems with dishwashing, etc. These are all successful after repeated improvements.

 

 Because the team members are all fresh entrepreneurs, except the problem of eco-friendly tableware, they have been encountered many difficulties during this period. For example, how to promote the delivery service and let more people order? How to negotiate the cooperation with off-campus stores? How to recruit delivery employees? 

 

However, through the Line@ promotion, interacting with the students by the Facebook fan page, and the discount coupons issued, "Green Pepper Express" had attracted a lot of students to utilize the service. They are keep growing gradually, and now they have about 100 customers every day.
