Takeout restaurant app

User research:

I conducted interviews and created empathy maps to understand the users I’m designing for and their needs.A primary user group identified through research was working adults who don’t have time to cook meals.

This user group confirmed initial assumptions of takeout restaurant app customers, but research also revealed that time was not the only factor limiting users from cooking at home.Other user problems included obligations,interests,or challenges that make it difficult to get groceries for cooking or go to restaurant in person.

Usability study: findings

I conducted two rounds of usability studies Findings from the first study helped me to guide the designs from wireframes to mockups.The second study used a high fidelity prototype and revealed what aspects of the mockup needed refining.

Takeaways

Impact What I learned

Our app makes customized food order While designing the Takeout restaurant app,

easy and efficient for users. I learned that the first ideas for the app

are only the beginning of the process.

Usability studies and peer feedback

influenced each iteration of the app’s design.

Next steps

1.Testing 2.User research

Conduct another round of usability studies to Conduct more user research to

validate whether the pain points users experienced determine any new areas of need.

have been effectively addressed.
