Enterprise Studies Reflection

Yesterday was market day, the day where we sell our products. Our coffee jelly sold out very quickly and our cinnamon doughnuts were successful even though we only cooked it twice in our life and never had any doubts. Another positive about our business is that we made $57.50 at the end of the day. The night before yesterday, we were trying out our to see if it would be a good product to sell.

Before starting, my business group thought maybe we could try a different recipe to make our cinnamon doughnuts. About 20 minutes of mixing the ingredients, I smelt something burning. I looked at our oven and found out it was where the smell was coming from. So I opened the oven and a thick smoke came out and we had to use teatowels to take the smoke out by spinning it to make a fan. Which took us about 10 or so minutes to finish our experiment. After the incident, my business group decided to stick with our original recipe to make our cinnamon doughnuts and it turned out to be a good decision for us. If we were to do it again, we won't bake our product because of what happened to the oven. We would also try to be more careful when making our product.

Pest Control

Evaluation:

What went well? Why?

Some things went well, my group came up with a plan that prevents pest from ruining crops. Our product is also non-toxic, it uses organic materials such as lemons and eucalyptus water to repel pest.

What didn't go well? Why?

Some of our ideas didn't go according to plan. We first came up with a solution that involves walking around the farm. My group later changed it by applying sprinklers onto the farm saving people time.

What would you do differently next time? Why?

I would try and come up with a more and efficient solution for farms because I think I can improve our plan even better.
