Challenge
How might we enhance the quality of dining experience?

Approach
Design sprint including benchmark study, observations, user flows,
wireframe design and UI design.

Understanding

Benchmark studies and observations provided initial insights. Main actors were drawn as ‘diners’, ‘servers’ and ‘managers’.

Ideation

Diner got the key role to come up with improvement opportunities. In that sense, user flow of regular diner was studied further in macro and micro scales. Major touch points were picked as ‘selection’ and ‘check out’ phases.

Ideation

Various concepts have been studied on these mentioned phases. As the final call of ‘selection’ step, diners were given a private offer on the regular menu taking them to a mobile-friendly web site. Instead of conventional components; a mutual and emphatical dialogue became the key of desired approach. Some snapshots from LoFi wireframes...

Prototyping and Evaluation

In this practice, only the diner side of the experience was studied further with prototyping and final UI design.

As a part; Nonna, a local cafe & restaurant chain, was selected as the role model in order to have the concept applied in reality. Their logo was partially re-designed by characterization of a grand nanny to support formerly mentioned idea of building mutual and emphatical dialogue. Below you see on the left ‘before’ and on the right ‘after’ my study.
