ONE! Jason and Grace are a busy working couple living in the inner city. Jason works as a civil engineer and drives a lot to different construction sites for work. Grace works as a lawyer at a big city law firm and is completing an MBA. With less and less time for exercise, Jason and Grace are at least been trying to improve their eating habits. They thought about those home-delivered pre-cooked meals but, as Grace says: "They just seem so sterile!". On Wednesday night, Jason gets home from work around 7pm. He collects the mail on the way in and dumps it on the table. Grace isn't home yet. She messaged him to say she was on her way and asked him to organise dinner. There's no way Jason is going to cook at this hour, so it looks like take away again... That's when Jason notices the flier from a new pizza company called “Virtuous Circle” on the table. Apparently, they offer the convenience of fast food with the nutritional value of home cooked. Intrigued, Jason loads up Virtuous Circle's mobile app. Jason immediately gets to work ordering the pizzas. Interestingly, the app starts by asking how many people he is ordering for. Jason browses the pizza options. Grace is vegetarian, so he filters the list to make things easier. The Black Bean Salsa pizza looks good. He adds one medium to the order. When he does he sees a running total of calories, carbohydrates, fat and salt for their order - represented as a percentage of the daily recommended intake for 2 people. Hmm, the salt level is a bit higher than the average - and Grace has been told to watch her blood pressure. Jason finds an alternative - Broccoli and Rocket. He adds that and removes the Black Bean Salsa from the order. Cool. He then finds a pizza for himself: Lamb Lahmahjoon. He checks the ingredients. Jason is allergic to onions, so he removes the shallots. He replaces them with baby spinach then adds the second pizza to their order. The nutritional information for the whole order checks out - so he proceeds to pay. When he does, he is alerted to Virtuous Circle's introductory offer of a small Summer Berries dessert pizza for $6. Before Jason adds it he can see how it will affect the scores for the meal. They're still in the green zone, so he goes ahead. Jason enters his payment details and watches while his credit card is validated. Sitting down in front of the TV, he can easily keep an eye on the progress of his order. He watches as their order moves from 'received' to 'preparing' to 'cooking' and finally to 'on its way'. The app alerts him when the order is 5 minutes away. Time to set the table!
