Objective

Help people with dietary restrictions safely explore the food options offered by restaurants.

Scenario

Sasha browses the restaurant's menu over on FoodAware, she filters the menu by her restrictions and preferences, she sees an item, but makes a vegetarian substitution on that item, and goes to the restaurant.

Designs

We present three designs:

1. Single Window Design
2. Dual Window Design
3. Shopping Cart Design

Single Window Design

The focus of this idea is on the food. We can filter the food items by selecting the ...

Pros:

Cons:

Dual Display:

Keep both the information of food items and ingredients on the same screen.

Manipulation of items on the food panel alters what is being displayed on the ingredients panel, and vice versa, giving high levels of feedback.

For instance, selecting a menu item brings up the ingredients of that menu item in the ingredients panel, giving the user feedback on what goes into the dish.

Conversely, selecting a preference or restricting the ingredients filters and re-orders the menu items, reflecting the user's choices.

Pros: High level of feedback and afforadance between the interplay of food vs ingredients

Cons: Screen space might be cluttered

Shopping Kart:

Rather than having to keep entering one's restriction, the user's preference/restrictions is remembered so it does not need to be entered again.
