Tab System for Types of Foods | Users can click on a tab such as "Appetizers" or "Drinks" to look at products that fall under those categories | Through user testing, we habe have found that the tab system was the easiest and fastest method for users to browse for products. | |
Search Features |
| By clicking on the red "Search" tab, the user will be able to search for products from all categories using keywords/descriptions. | We initially wanted the user to be able to search for products they want to order based on multiple criteria such as type of food (seafood, steak, etc.), price, and more. However, we found that it was too hard to implement a filtering system and it was hard to learn how to use a filtering system, so we simplified the process to a search feature. |
More Information in the Sidebar |
| When a user clicks on a product, a sidebar will be displayed on the right hand side of the menu. It will display more information about the product such as nutrition facts and anything else the restaurant would like to tell the user about the product. | One of our initial goals of this product was for the user to know more about what they are ordering than a regular user can find out using a regular menu. With this addition, we are able to keep the brief details of the products on the menu more concise while giving the user the ability to learn more about their products. |
Pop-up Notifications | When a user adds a product to their order or adds a product to the compare list, a large black pop-up is displayed in the middle of the screen to notify the user that the action has been taken. | When we were testing our computer prototypes, we received input that the user was not receiving enough feedback when performing an action of products on the menu page. |
