“Do you dislike waiting for things, especially food at your favorite restaurant?” Darin Eidens asked to a large audience in the Mark and Elisia Saab Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center in the opening of his rocket pitch for the 2014 Idea Challenge. The judges seemed to agree that this was a problem that needed a solution. The judges awarded ZHUUM second place in the “First to Market” category. This came with a $2,000 award to move their project forward. Since pitching in April 2014 the team began development and has made significant progress.
