Research
For this case study there are two different users, customers and staff. With customers, not only do these users go out to enjoy the food or maybe change their environment, but they also dine out for the service. And with the servers depending on good tips for a living, the pandemic has made it difficult for these users to provide excellent customer service in exchange for a sufficient tip.

Based ihe user reaserach I was able to understand how users would use the app, After summarizing the info from the reasearch, I created an initial design that would fit everything.
STEP 1: Customers come and sit down at the table. The guest will scan the QR code and either input name (this will allow them to order and pay without the creating a login) or they can login and via phone number or email and the menu will appear. The QR code links the order to their table while showing an open table on the server’s screen.
STEP 2: Once customers submit their order, for those who decided to order as guest can either close the tab or make an account and keep it open. For those who logged in, can close out or keep the tab open. The server will check with table and confirm their order, offer other items that pair with their order and submit to kitchen.
STEP 3: Customers can add other people’s tab on to theirs and close out using apple pay, google pay or by simply scanning their credit card.
