I fumbled the opening a bit because I jumped straight into solutions before really scoping the problem.
Start by clarifying the scope: which dining experience (e.g., Airbnb Experiences, in-home dining, restaurant)? Then pick a specific user segment and map their journey to identify pain points. Prioritize one high-impact problem and propose a solution, explaining how you'd measure success and iterate.
Pro tip: Anchor your answer in Airbnb's mission and business model—show how improving dining experiences can drive guest loyalty, host earnings, and platform growth. Also, acknowledge trade-offs and potential risks to demonstrate product maturity.
Ask clarifying questions to define which dining experience (e.g., Airbnb Experiences, restaurant recommendations, in-home dining) and which user segment (guests, hosts, local businesses) to focus on.
Choose a specific user segment and map their end-to-end dining journey to uncover key pain points, such as discovery, booking, personalization, or post-dining engagement.
Select one high-impact pain point based on frequency, severity, and alignment with Airbnb's strategic goals. Explain your prioritization criteria.
Brainstorm potential solutions, then describe one in detail—including key features, how it addresses the pain point, and how it leverages Airbnb's unique assets (e.g., host community, trust, local expertise).
Outline how you would measure success (e.g., booking conversion, guest satisfaction, host retention) and describe a plan for testing, learning, and iterating.
