Dining
User Interface App Design
Design Challenge:
Create a user centric app flow for a specific task of your choosing. This task should solve a problem and create an optimized user experience.
Overview:
“Dining” is a reservation booking app that enables diners to find and book the perfect table for every occasion. It is a platform that simply offers mobile reservations. Restaurant recommendations are provided based on your preferences.
Goals:
Conducting a competitive analysis helped me formulate my goals for this project. I specifically studied the Open Table app which provided me with ideas that could improve its user experience. For example:
Streamline the reservation confirmation actions
Create an intuitive experience that allows the users to quickly access the app’s features. e.g., view profile information in one click
Customize a home screen that is easily to navigate, allows modification in seating options, and shows proof of the confirmed reservation
