Business opportunity
An expert in the field, our customer conducted thorough market research and concluded that the existing methods for restaurant financing are inefficient and suboptimal for both owners and investors. The client also noted that restaurants often have to operate with tight margins and limited working capital, which puts them in a difficult position in terms of sustaining or growing their businesses.Keen to resolve the aforementioned challenges while implementing the newest tech trends, Oku Group decided to offer their own unique NFT marketplace that would draw in an international restaurant community and allow participants to enjoy fruitful and successful cooperation on a top-notch platform.To gain a better perspective of their project, Oku Group reached out to PixelPlex as a reliable and experienced blockchain and NFT consultant.
Solution
PixelPlex blockchain consultants have analyzed the client’s requirements and worked out an all-encompassing development roadmap, as well as a vision and scope document that covers all technical and business aspects from A to Z. The NFT platform’s architecture and key components are included in the roadmap, which also anticipates risks and dependencies, and provides a broad understanding of user roles and their opportunities in the NFT marketplace.
Details
Together with the customer, the PixelPlex consulting team has thoroughly considered the business and operational logic of the NFT marketplace to ensure that it will be able to fulfill two core business goals that the client is striving to achieve:
- 1Help restaurants to receive funds to launch new concepts and ideas, grow restaurant channels, and allow for greater brand recognition
- 2Enable NFT holders to receive unique benefits including discounts, advance reservations, and access to exclusive events

- Rapidly growing DeFi ecosystem
- The variety of advanced DeFi and NFT projects that have been developed on Solana (including Raydium, Port Finance, and Solend)
