Palantir Design Challange
At a Palantir hackathon, I participated in a two-hour challenge to enhance the efficiency of the Kitchen Operations team. This team manages the preparation of meals in the kitchen, their transportation to the cafeteria, and their setup for buffet-style service for employees.
Key Objectives:
Streamline communication and workflows between chefs, transport staff, and serving teams.
Optimize inventory management to prevent shortages.
Provide real-time insights into meal preparation, transportation progress, and buffet readiness.
