This is a UX project I did at Coursera. And here is my working process in detail.
However, if you just want to see the App prototype, feel free to check it out here.
Brief:
Being hired by an entrepreneur who wants to open a new, delivery-only establishment that delivers food (or drinks) to customers living nearby. I have been asked to plan and design the restaurant’s website. The centerpiece of this website will be an online food customization and ordering system.
On the other hand, I am to determine a few parameters for the restaurant business. I have to decide on a very specific, customizable food product, a primary target audience, the restaurant’s price range, and its name. So, in a way, I am also the restaurateur’s business partner or the business consultant.

Mood Board
Red-white-blue material is a nylon canvas in colors of red, white, and blue. It was widely used as the covering material for construction sites, and as a waterproof tent for many shops and stores in Hong Kong. There are also Red-white-blue tote bags that are commonly used as they are cheap, lightweight, durable, and multi-functional. Red-white-blue has become a representative of Hong Kong culture.
