This is a case study of how I led the design and development of a transformative dining experience for institutional settings. A redesign was essential to address the growing disconnect between meal planning and consumption, as well as to meet the rising demand for personalized, health-conscious dining options.
Role:
Research, System Design, User Interface
Industry:
FoodTech
Duration:
26 weeks
Challenges
Diverse User Needs: Addressed the unique requirements of students, professionals, and chefs to create a inclusive dining solution.
Operational Efficiency**: Focused on streamlining processes to ensure scalability and smooth operations in institutional settings.
User-Centric Research: Conducted in-depth analysis of user behaviours, dietary preferences, and institutional constraints to inform design decisions.
My Approach
A smart, modular kiosk system designed to bridge the gap between convenience and health in institutional dining. By integrating real-time nutritional tracking and a user-friendly interface, we empowered users to customise meals based on their dietary preferences and health goals. The system also streamlined operations for chefs and institutions, reducing food waste and improving efficiency.
Results
The idea is a smart, modular kiosk system designed to simplify and enhance institutional dining. It helps institutions cooking in large batches by generating menus with nutrition scores, reflecting the balance of carbs, proteins, and fats in each meal. Users can interact with the kiosk to view these scores, customize meals based on their dietary preferences, and make informed choices about their food. For chefs and institutions, the system streamlines operations, reduces food waste, and improves efficiency by providing real-time data and insights. This bridges the gap between convenience and health, empowering users while optimizing kitchen workflows.
My Approach
Continuous Improvement: Plan regular updates based on user feedback and evolving industry trends to enhance app functionality and user satisfaction.
Expansion: Explore partnerships and integrations with wearable devices and fitness equipment to provide a holistic fitness experience.
Conclusion
Through strategic planning, meticulous design, and agile development, we successfully delivered a mobile app that not only met but exceeded our client's expectations. The project highlighted our commitment to innovation and user-centric solutions in the competitive mobile app landscape.
