We initially specified 3 three user groups for OpenMenu and we still wanted to test those user groups that would use our interface: the older parent, the college student, and the waitress. For the older parent group, we asked one of our own parents, who isn't technology savvy and fits the group. For the college student, we asked one of our friends, perfectly fitting into this group. For the waitress group, we asked one of our friends that was a waitress, again an ideal representation of this groupin our final round of user testing for 6.813. With this in mind we tested OpenMenu on:

  1. User 1 - Parent: We tested the application on one of our parents who spoke English because isn't super tech-savvy.
  2. User 2 - College Student: For this, we tested it on a friend of ours who wasn't course 6 and wasn't taking 6.813. We noted that she something similar to this before at a restaurant.
  3. User 3 - Waiter/Waitress: We tested OpenMenu on a friend of ours who had been a waitress in the past at a chain restaurant.

Hello and thank you for help us with our project, OpenMenu! This is _____, _____, and _ ____.

    Picture this: 

    You are going out to a restaurant on a Friday night with a couple friends. When you are seated, you notice that instead of menus, your waiter has grabbed tablets instead. Your waiter informs you that the restaurant is trying out a new electronic ordering system. The purpose of this new ordering system is to make ordering and waiting at restaurants faster and more efficient and to entertain customers while waiting for their orders to arrive.

    To help us test the system, we're going to ask you to do some scenario tasks.
