ABSTRACT

We often take things for granted. One such thing is food. A lot of effort goes on in bringing the plate of food to our tables, and we recognize that effort when we cook for ourselves, but often we neglect that when we eat at restaurants. Invisible Workers (People working behind the scenes) ranging from farmers, people from production, distribution, storing, stocking, and many more to the chefs that cook our food are some of the people that have put a lot of effort into the food on our plates. The goal of this paper is to acknowledge and make the effort of invisible workers visible by raising awareness and offering a means to express gratitude. As a specific case, we decided to focus on workers at Indiana University Diners that represent a part of a huge population of invisible workers. Our design uses a Kiosk based system that will allow students who eat at Indiana university diner to share gratitude that will reach the invisible workers via diverse ways such as email, audio, etc.
