User research
User research: Summary
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 Early Interns and Students who are frequent buyers in cafes through apps. This user group confirmed initial assumptions about Stayin alive Cafe customers. Other user problems included obligations, interests, or challenges that make it difficult to order through a mobile app.

Time
Interns and students value their time and expect deliveries on time.
Accessibility
Platforms for ordering food are not equipped with assistive technology.
Information
Architecture
Text-heavy menus and other content in apps are often difficult to read and order.
DESIGN

Paper wireframes
Taking the time to draft iterations of each screen of the app on paper ensured that the elements that made it to digital wireframes would be well-suited to address user pain points. For the home screen, I prioritized a quick and easy ordering process to help users save time.
