Located at Purvis Street, Singapore, Original is a farm-to-table casual dining restaurant that brings people back to the conventional methods of communication, allowing customers to take a break from social media that is ever-present in our daily lives.
The restaurant’s system of assigning random seats to diners aims to create a sense of excitement and anticipation in encouraging them to socialise and interact. The target group is teenagers/youths who may lack communication skills due to the overuse and/or overdependence of technology. Currently, 51 per cent of teens would rather communicate digitally than in person, and 32 per cent of people would prefer to speak on the phone rather than in person. Thus, the restaurant aims to focus on the importance of human interaction.
