Cafeteria App Case Study
Project overview
The product:
Application is for better experience in cafeteria and should help people to order coffee.
Project duration:
September 2022 – December 2022
The problem:
People don’t want to lose their seats based on their order. In some cases people want to sit and order from their place to keep this place in the cafeteria.
The goal:
Create app that will allow to browse menu, create an order and select the table in the cafeteria.
My role:
UX researcher, UX designer, UI designer
Responsibilities:
user research, wireframing, prototyping, designing
Understanding the user
User research: summary
I conducted user interviews and created empathy maps to understand the users. A primary user group identified through user research was working adults in the office who want to enjoy coffee.
This user group revealed problems like: delivery/pickup – coffee could be cold, some of customers want to sit and enjoy the coffee in place
User research: pain points
1. Pickup - Not picked up in time and coffee could be cold.
2. Ordering in place - Why using app in cafeteria to ordering a coffee?
3. Accessibility - Missing assistive technologies
Persona: Tom

Usability study: findings
Round 1 findings
1. Users want more languages
2. Users want order more types of coffees
3. User want more information about picking table
Round 2 findings
1. Missing information about table in summary
2. Missing table information in the summary page
Refining the design
Mockups
High-fidelity prototype
The final high-fidelity prototype is done and available on this link:
Accessibility considerations
1
Users want more information about table. I used images how the table looks like and I added more description about the place.
2
Users want information about picked table in the summary page. I added this information to the overview.
Going forward
Takeaways
Impact:
Number of downloads are doubled than we expected.
What I learned:
I learned that doing a usability study multiple times is very useful.
