Please find my second digital prototype at https://www.flinto.com/p/b74505c0.
There were a lot of valuable feedback I got based on the first digital prototype, and I made adjustments accordingly.
- It was suggested that it would be better to give users an option for searching restaurants by type of cuisine, so I added filters.
- The restaurant recommendation list on the first view was a bit long, so I reduced the quantity to 2, one for a restaurant that has a last spot very soon, the other for the most popular restaurant near a user’s current location.
- The use of warm colors in the app was suggested, and using one hue with different shades was said to be more relevant and focused for an app. So I dedicated the overall color theme of the app to shades of red. It is usually considered a color that easily works up people’s appetite.
- The consideration for color-blinded people was brought up, so I abandoned the previous design of having red button related to unavailability and green button for availability. In the newer version, an unavailable restaurant will not allow to make a reservation.
- I included a form for credit card information, as for certain restaurants, it was required to have that info when booking a table.
- The map on the first view was thought to be too zoomed-out, so I modified it to show only the range of all the participating restaurants.
