3 Problem/Need It s Friday night and your in the mood for your favorite food but you know that the line is always out the door. After a long, hard day at work the last thing you want to do is go wait in a line. The convenience of a simple, fast, easy-to-use preordering food app on your phone in a time like right now would ease your night. I have created an app that will help people make the most of their time by not having to spend it in lines waiting for their food. This app will help those whether they want to reserve food for a dinner date or order take out all from their phone.

6 App Walk-though The app will start with a welcoming home/sign in page. Users will start to search for food using the explore tab. Once they have found a restaurant they want, they will continue to the menu. The full menu will include categories with all items with listed prices. As they select the food item they desire, an option to add and remove certain specifications for that food will be listed. They will finish at the payment by adding it to their cart. After viewing payment specifications (additions and tax) they will be able to choose take-out order, sit down order, or delivery (if offered). Other tabs will include items like favorites, recently ordered, and friends/social. The app will use location services to find food near you.

13 Testing I used the program Justinmind Prototyper to design and create this prototype. I found it useful to layout each element of the app in a interactive design. It is nice to be able to simulate each and every element you add. For testing, I used some 16 year old kids, 24 year old college students, and some 35 year old adults. This way I was able to see where some improvements were to be made. Results/Recommendations For some of the results I was able to find some problems with my design. For example, I didn t notice till a user tested my scroll bar in the friends feed section wasn t scrolling correctly and would scroll of the screen. It is nice to do beta testing so that you can fish out any small problems to make minor adjustments before you release the presented version. I also was able to get some recommendations on an openly interactive messaging system between different friends and users. I get a recommendation of using a rating system so users can rate certain foods and restaurants.
