UX/UI DESIGN
Class Assignment
​
Objective
After living in a global pandemic, restaurants in the process of reopening are now offering private dining pods to ensure the health and safety of its customers and staff.
Create a restaurant app that allows users to build a safe, custom dining experience with the goal of minimizing human interaction while still providing the experience of public dining. Create a touch screen ordering system that allows users to order and receive food without direct human interaction.
BRAINSTORMING & RESEARCH
I started brainstorming with how a restaurant space could be customized and how customers would be able to order their meal with minimal contact. I concluded that customers should be able to order and customize their dining space on their own devices ahead of time before arriving to the restaurant.
​
After brainstorming, I researched themed restaurants and hotels rooms to see how they set up these unique environments. Because the dining pods had to be customizable, I thought that using 360 degree projections would be the best way to allow customers to customize their space. Next, I looked at several food delivery apps to determine what features would be useful to help customers and staff keep public dining as contactless as possible.

LOGO, TYPEFACE & COLOR PALETTE
A bright color palette was used for the logo and the app design. The yellow was used to grab people’s attention and to make them feel hungry, while the green suggests healthy food and a healthy environment. A purple tone was also used in the app design because the color is usually associated with imagination and uniqueness, which goes well with the restaurant’s idea to utilize customizable pod dining.
