The Challenge
Staft Toronto was founded by Brian Meadows, Jesse Brito, and Brent McClenahan with the aim of connecting students and recent graduates in the hospitality industry to server and bartender jobs in Toronto. The founders also wanted to provide a platform for small and large event venues to find servers or bartenders. However, they faced challenges in creating a user-friendly platform that could handle the complex functions required for such a service. They needed a solution that would allow them to control the user experience, user interface, and back-end logic of their app, while also enabling fast creation and testing.
About The Customer
Staft Toronto targets highly motivated servers and bartenders in Toronto, particularly students or recent graduates looking to apply themselves in the hospitality industry. Small and large event venues can also use the platform to find servers or bartenders. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, allowing job seekers to easily sign up, book a video interview, and set their own schedules. For venues, the platform simplifies the process of finding staff by broadcasting job requests to the highest rated Staft Members.
The Solution
The founders chose to build their app on Bubble, a no-code platform. Bubble's unlimited program features allowed them to take control of the UX, UI, and back-end logic of their app. The platform also enabled fast creation and testing, and provided all the tools needed to build complex functions and provide a user-friendly platform. Users looking for a job can sign up and book a video interview with the agency. After completing the interview and a basic serving & bartending training course, they can set their own schedule, take shifts as they become available, and get paid. On the other hand, users looking to fill a job request need to provide basic information about the event, and the request is immediately broadcast to the highest rated Staft Members.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Digital Transformation of Atlanta Grout & Tile: An IoT Case Study
Atlanta Grout & Tile, a Tile, Stone & Grout restoration company based in Woodstock, Georgia, was facing challenges with its traditional business model. Despite steady growth over the years, the company was falling behind the web revolution and missing out on the opportunity to tap into a new consumer base. They were using independent software from different vendors for each of their department information and workforce management. This resulted in a lot of manual work on excel and the need to export/import data between different systems. This not only increased overhead costs but also slowed down their response to clients. The company also had to prepare numerous reports manually and lacked access to customer trends for effective business decision-making.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.
