OAXACA APP
[ HCI, UX, UI & Prototyping ]
For one of our modules at university, we were given the brief to create, design and optimise a restaurant's UI application for ordering food. In terms of organisation, we used the project management framework Scrum via Trello, an online-based list-making application. This allowed us to create and organise weekly updates (e.g. Sprint meetings), meetings and compile our work efficiently such as our designs. During our meetings, we would discuss our plans and create hand-drawn drafts of the UI designs and ideas we came up with.
We used InVision to create and develop our UI designs for our restaurant app called Oaxaca. Then, we would refer back to Trello, our Sprint meetings or engage in user-testing activities for further improvements.
We designed various interfaces for different types of staffs that work in a restaurant.
User Stories
In a group of five, I and my team designed interfaces based on different job roles in a restaurant. Please note that these are prototypes, so some user tasks and designs will need to be fulfilled for the UI to be fully functional. Although, you are still able to engage in tasks with the first examples included within the stories, as explained below.
Customers
As a customer, you can view the Full Menu, Seasonal Specials, and even get your own curated Personalised Menu catering to your dietary preference and allergies. Customers can also look at the Help section if they need any assistance.
To begin, enter 1 as the table number and Enter.
Waiters
As a waiter, you are able to view a map of tables to assign orders, change the availability of food items, customise orders and change order statuses if customers decide to add/ cancel orders.
To begin, enter 123 as the staff ID and Enter.
Kitchen Staff
As a kitchen worker, you are able to view all active and finished orders, update their statuses and return to the Main Menu and view the Order History.
To begin, enter 123 as the staff ID and Enter.
Managers
As a manager, you are able to edit the menu and set the price for Guacamole to £2.00 in this case. You can view stock, table data and outstanding deliveries and search for Employee data (e.g. 'Iqra').
To begin, enter 321 as the staff ID and Enter.
