The second design we had was one where we split the ordering into stages, with the stages being drinks, food, Entertainment, and then lastly, the bill. The user is given the option of viewing a quick tutorial of the menu. |

Design 3: Using a Tab-Based System
| Panel |
|---|
The third design we developed is based on a tab system, with the main tabs being Menu, Order, Payment, and Entertainment. The main screen will simply be an image that the restaurant wants to use as a cover screen. Quick arrows and notes will be serve as tutorials on each individual tab. |
Menu Tab 
| Panel |

The menu tab is where the user will actually view, select, and compare the items on the menu. The items on the menu will be divided into subcategories. Upon selecting the subcategory, the items will appear in a horizontal scroll pane, with some basic information and its image displayed. Users will be able to use the drop-down filters to restrict the items they can view or use search for an exact item. When a user sees an item they like, they can check the box of the item. All checked items will be put into the compare selections box on the bottom of the screen, which will also be a horizontal scroll pane. Within this box, the user can quickly and easily compare items, pressing the “add to order” button if they like an item. Within the Scenario After Joe, Jane, John, and Julie sit down, they will use the device to look for items they want. Joe can instantly understand the scrolling, filters, search, and compare features and can quickly select what he wants. John, Jane, and Julie will follow the tutorial of arrows and notes and will quickly learn how the system works. Jane and Julie, since they only want fish, will utilize the filter feature to narrow the items they have to look through. |
