Project Vision

The Challenge

EatBKK is an authentic Thai restaurant chain with locations all across Toronto. The goal of this project was to redesign the EatBKK website with a focus on the information architecture improvements such as making it easier browse the menu, placing a order takeout, and make a reservation while improving the overall experience design.

With a push on supporting local businesses and ordering out, individuals are constantly searching for new places to try. However, several factors may hinder a potential customers decision such as an unclear menu and an unintuitive reservation system leaving customers frustrated and potentially stopping them from going to the restaurant.

The Solution

To get new customers choosing EatBKK as their next must try restaurant, we will redesign their website by adding important features such a photos of menu items and clear details regarding locations and hours. This redesign will aim to entice new customers and make it easy for returning customers to find the food they love.

Statement

EatBKK is bettering their website by creating a more intuitive experience while simultaneously providing all of the important information users need to know (menu, price, location).

 

EatBKK will provide the necessary details to the user in an intuitive way that the user can quickly understand.

 

EatBKK is believable because we provide prices and photos on the menu, ensure the user is selecting the correct location to avoid error, and link them to reviews to quickly see what previous customers have said.

Final WIX version

FINAL THOUGHTS

  • First time working with an actual stakeholder 

  • Received in person feedback using surveys from actual EATBKK customers  

  • Limitations within changing functionality with WIX

NEXT STEPS

  • Limitations within the WIX site did not allow for us to make certain iterations 

  • Conducting A/B testing to re-examine discarded and alternate ideas 

  • Showing the stakeholder the final design, and making any further iterations
