Problem Statement
Busy customers lacked a quick and easy way to order healthy meals
Target User
Local customers who frequently order takeout and eat relatively healthy
Our Goal
To create a quick and easy mobile app that will allow customers to order food from Crunchy Comfort, as well as customize the orders if needed
User Research
I was able to interview four people who frequenetly ordered their meals online, whether that was for delivery or pickup. During these interviews, I asked them questions involving the challenges they frequently face ordering from resturants, their reasoning behind ordering in versus cooking at home. Through these interivews we found that they all lived extremely busy lives and some participants stated their unpredictable hours meant they would order meals to-go.
Pain Points
Time
Working adults do not have the time to consistently be able to cook their own meals at home.
Accessibility
Not all platforms for ordering foods are equipped with assistive technologies.

Conclusion
What I’d do differently
If I were to go back in time and restart the design process, I would’ve aimed to add more interactive options for the user within the high fidelity prototype, including the ability to add to their favorites as well as leave a review for their purchased items. Another part of the process I would simulate in the high-fidelity prototype is the notification of when the pickup is ready on the iphone.
Next Steps
Conduct another round of usability studies to ensure that the pain points the user experienced have been addressed. Another phase of this project could include testing the pickup functionality, and allowing users to see their favored menu items.
