Type of Project | Managmaent System

About the Project

As part of our complex systems design course, we were tasked with creating a management system for a topic of our choice.

We wanted to select a subject that both interested us and allowed us to showcase our design skills by considering every detail to ensure optimal usability for different user types.

We ultimately chose to design a restaurant management system that would provide each employee with the specific functions they needed to perform their job effectively.

Main target audience

When considering our target audience, we realized we wanted to create a system that was optimal for independent restaurants, those that aren't part of a chain but are also larger than small family-owned establishments.

There are many restaurants that are independently owned but have a large staff, and therefore require an efficient and user-friendly system for all employees.

How can we make the system both

User-friendly and Simple while ensuring that it meets the unique needs of each user?

Our Working Process

Our design process prioritizes the individual user.

Through comprehensive research, we gain valuable insights into user needs. We then focus on creating a functional platform that prioritizes usability over visual design.

Once our hypotheses are confirmed or refuted, we move on to visually enhancing the user experience through the use of colors.

User Scenarios

To deliver a product tailored to the user, we engaged in interviews with potential users.

We conducted interviews with individuals in diverse roles to gain a comprehensive understanding of our users' needs. This report features impactful quotes from these interviews, offering valuable insights.

These helped us to create detailed personas to represent the key users our platform is designed for.

"The platform should be simple and easy to use."

"The manager should have visibility into all operations of the business."

“All parties in the business should communicate with each other through shared screens.”

“Provide an easy and convenient way to manage inventory and order products.”

"Offer each persona the ability to view only the relevant information for their role"

"To make every employee feel that each role in the business is crucial for its advancement."

"The platform should be convenient for adding items such as invoices, suppliers, and products."

Personas

Manager

Dana wants a platform to stay updated with everything happening in the restaurant, even when she's not there. The system should be compatible with both her laptop and the tablets used by other restaurant employees. Since her schedule is packed with meetings, she needs a simple, clear platform that can be easily synchronized across everyone.

Rurchasing agent

Has frequent interaction with the manager. She is seeking a high-quality platform to manage the restaurant alongside him, ensuring that all employees can be coordinated through a single system. Additionally, she prefers a system that is user-friendly both on a tablet and a laptop.

Shift leader

Daniel, an experienced shift manager, is looking for a system that can help him manage his new, more demanding role. He needs a tool that is both intuitive and easy to use, allowing him to streamline operations and coordinate with his team effectively.

Kitchen manager

Anthony is a young man who enjoys cooking more than technology. Despite being very young, he doesn't like using social networks and prefers a platform that is easy, simple, and doesn't require much technological know-how.

Employee

Elizabeth is a young woman who loves to travel the world. In the near future, she wants to work as much as possible to save money for her bachelor's degree studies and outings with her friends. Currently, she works as a waitress and she's looking for technology that can show her how many hours she has worked in a month and what rating she has received from customers for her service.

Data Architecture

Wireframes

When conceptualizing the user journey within the system, our primary goal was to make every function intuitive and user-friendly. Our initial wireframes revealed areas for improvement, prompting us to make adjustments throughout the design process until we achieved screens that effectively met user needs.

Balancing functionality and aesthetics was a key focus during the design phase. We carefully selected a color palette that conveyed professionalism while ensuring a pleasant user experience. Additionally, we prioritized accessibility by designing both light and dark mode versions.

In Conclusion

I can confidently say that working with Maria on this project was both enlightening and inspiring.

I feel we have successfully created a system that is user-friendly, efficient, and meets the needs of all users.

Throughout the process, we made adjustments to achieve nothing short of an exceptional outcome!

It's clear that making changes along the way is a valuable learning experience and ultimately leads to a better product, one that fully aligns with our original goals.
