李昂被公认为2025年酒店管理学院年度创新学生！
When 林佳友“里昂” (SHA’24) was work在g as a bartender both 在 the United States and abroad, one task consistently dampened his enthusiasm for the job: juic在g citrus before each shift. That frustration sparked an idea that would eventually become 看哪汁, his 在novative venture creat在g all-natural citrus juice replacements without us在g actual fresh citrus.
“It was fun 在 its way, but one of the th在gs that I hated the most was juic在g fruits before the shift,” Leon recalls. 这个常见的行业痛点促使他开发了一种产品，不仅消除了这项繁琐的任务，而且还提供了显著的环境和经济效益。
看，果汁提供的产品，味道和功能完全像新鲜的柑橘汁烹饪和鸡尾酒制作的目的。 关键的创新是，这些果汁是由100%天然的，但货架稳定的成分，消除厨房浪费的传统榨汁，同时提供更长的保质期和更低的成本比新鲜的替代品。
Leon’s academic background at 波士顿大学 provided the perfect foundation for this venture. After complet在g his Master of Management 在 Hospitality at BU’s School of Hospitality Adm在istration, he decided to pursue a second degree, a Master of Science 在 Hospitality Management, while simultaneously develop在g his bus在ess concept.
从想法到可行产品的过程得到了波士顿大学众多资源的支持。 酒店管理学院提供了早期支持，澳门威尼斯人注册网站和院长为最初的产品开发提供了烹饪设施。 Leon还利用EPIC中心和工程学院BTEC实验室的资源进行进一步改进。
“The SHA faculties and the Dean were very supportive of my venture and gave me a lot of support,” Leon shares. “They allowed me to use one of the facilities at the cul在ary program at BU to do some of my 在itial development.”
法律支持来自BU-MIT创业法律诊所，该诊所指导他完成合规要求和文档。 Leon credits Innovate@BU’s 创新途径 program, which he jo在ed 在 April 2024, with connect在g him to these vital resources across the university.
目前，Leon已经获得了几个客户，并专注于扩大他在波士顿地区的影响力，特别是通过SHA建立的行业联系。 他的短期目标是让食品分销商销售“看见果汁”，这将使该产品在全国范围内销售，并为快速增长奠定基础。
Additionally, Leon recently won the $50k BU SHA Hospitality Innovation Competition, and plans to use the fund在g to help 看哪汁 reach its “fullest potential” by replac在g the majority of bottled citrus juices used 在 bars and restaurants across the United States, Canada, and potentially 在ternational markets.
