The date and time you are going to meet with your SME:

The first meeting was October 16, 2018. We attended a Keynote with Dever Design Week. Drink your feelings: How to Brand a Brewery. In attendance were people from Interact, Anthem Branding and Upslope Brewing. the guests ranged from designers, brewers and the marking and experience teams from all of the brands. 

Our next meeting will be next week. 

A list of research questions you will be asking your SME:

- How can I improve my design research question to be more in line with where I would like to investigate?

- Is there any research that is available that we can research together to help understand the just problems?

- Do you know anyone that works in selling POS systems?

- How did Joyride decide on the system they chose to work with and have other companies faught to gain our business?

Examples that you will be showing your SME that illustrate the direction of your thesis idea and its relevance:

My SME is very familiar with the brewery taproom, even working the first few weeks it was open to help with customer management. There are not any resources that I have found in articles or online resources. This problem comes from my own personal interaction with the systems and co-workers. I believe that being so close to the top we can work on a solution that involves many minds for research, testing, and iteration.
