Cooking can take ages if one person has to do it. Could the cooking be split among the family with the help of a device?
Using various electronic tools (e.g blender, oven, microwave) to cook a meal can have a high energy cost, both expensive and bad for the environment - could a multifunctional cooking tool be created?
Waste reduction
Portions of food at events can be too large and lead to waste - machines could control portion distribution
-
Lack of recycling can often be an issue - could an easy/ fun /efficient recycling system be created?

Engagement
Dining with a large community can often feel awkward, especially for younger children - inbuilt conversation tools / icebreakers could be used.
A sense of community can be hard to establish - a device could be made that splits cooking amongst certain groups, encouraging friendship.
Long tables can limit the number of people you talk to - A modular seating system could be made allowing people to communicate more with their community.
Location / venue
Venues for community meals can often be boring - colour and lighting or interesting food distribution systems could be used to excite the community.
Venues can be very noisy, especially for larger communities - sound blocking panels or furniture could help.
Transportation of food or furniture can be difficult - easily stacking chairs and food packets could make this easier.
Connection
Remote members of communities can feel excluded - could people eat together online in a way that feels natural?
Older folks can find technology difficult to use - can I make an easier device to let them communicate with loved ones?
People often don't eat the same food when calling for meals - could a machine prepare and pack food beforehand so people can eat the same stuff whilst connecting online>
