01Overview

What we're solving

Food vendors need a way to create and manage their food menus online. Currently, many food vendors rely on banner image menus or scanned PDFs which they share online.

02Problem / Solution

Why it matters

These menus aren't responsive due to their static nature and are difficult to update and distribute. This makes it hard for vendors to keep their menus up-to-date and offer new items to their customers. A web application that allows food vendors to easily create and manage their menus would solve this problem.

03Design Process

How we got there

User Research: Conduct in-depth interviews and surveys with food vendors to understand their pain points, needs, and preferences.

Competitor Analysis: Study existing solutions and identify their strengths and weaknesses to inform the new application's features.

04Target Users

Who this is for

Food vendors of all age groups and users that patronize them.
