We want to allow guests to order without touching a menu and limiting server interaction. No more waiting for waitstaff, browse the menu on your phone and order when you want as you want. Make it easier for guest to “order another round”.
Pandemic froze the flow of customers to restaurants. Restaurant owners are desperate for a solution to make their customers feel safer. The main challenge of Tikt was to design, build and provide the final product as soon as possible. Doing user research and real time testing to provide MVP at very minimum time was the main challenge that I faced throughout the project.

Sophia's specific struggle is finding restaurants that prioritize and enforce safety measures during the COVID-19 pandemic.
She wants to make sure that the restaurant she chooses takes the necessary precautions to protect the health of their guests and staff.

I was able to gather insights on what the user has to say about the present restaurant dining experience. What the user thinks and feels about the experience had more to do than what they said and does. I formed empathy map based on what they does at the restaurant every time they visited. Empathy map provide deeper understanding of user pain points as it clearly shows the concern and fear of dining in present situation. It also helped to find the areas that needs to be focused more to make a better user experience.

I scripted the below storyboard of how a guest can achieve contactless dining using their mobile phone to join a table, see menu, order food and place tip & payment. It helped me to build empathy and understand how a group of people at a table wanted to interaction with Tikt.

I created the affinity diagram to organise, analyse data and synthesise user research findings about the activities and operations involved in a restaurant and potential actions of the application.
To check about chef's special, available options of item and items as course.
To specify item delivery order as starters, entree, or dessert.
To specify not to include allergic ingredient or food item in the ordering dish.
To request for bill/receipt, make the payment and provide tip.
For unanticipated requirements, booster seats, cleaning table, hot water etc,.
The initial version of menu was having limitation for modifier options in items and was able to improve the usability and accessibility by redesigning the core menu.

New customers often wanted to know more about food items before ordering, so restaurant owners required a descriptive menu to showcase their chef's specials.
Restaurants were unable to provide combo meals with limitation in modifiers. They wanted to have the ability to add unlimited modifiers to make combination to a single item.
Customers pointed out the difficulty in scrolling through the horizontal modifiers section to find the required.

Item 86ing from restaurant side is now displayed to customers as sold out items.
Restaurant owners were able to provide all sort of modifiers and add-ons to create combo meals.
Customers found the descriptive menu and modifier list view design easy to use. Finding out the required modifiers became effortless.

One of the main concerns of the guest dining at restaurant is the safe and quicker communication with waiter.
With the in-build chat feature with waiters I was able to make the life of waiters and guest easier by creating safe and contactless communication.
Now guest does not need to look for a server, just send the query through the app.
Common query like "Request for water" are pre-build for faster communication.
Most of the customers interact with waiters for allergy free food items in thier dish.
Food allergies are common nowadays, search in Tikt app helps the guest to search for items that does not include ingredients that common to make allergies.
Guests can now search for items that are gluten free, dairy free, nut free, egg free etc. Each options are represented by emojis for easily recognizing and guest can combine each of them for finding specific items and faster searching.
Waiters usually interacts with customers to take notes about the dish and course.
With in-build coursing system. Customers were able to select course for all the available dishes when added in cart.
Direct interaction with waiters was reduced by providing the ability to choose course and notes/cooking instructions and thus providing a contactless and safer dining experience.
Customers found the flexibility in making decision of the food preparation and delivery as an excellent experience.
Customers had to interact with waiters or cashiers while checking out in most cases for making the payment.

Including the contactless online payment from customer side made them feel safer by restricting waiter interaction.
Making use of auth payment and card wallets boosted ordering another round by not wanting to enter payment details for each order and helped customer retention.
Waiters received tips easily with in-build tipping feature on checking out for preset and custom amounts.
