Panel

After opening the menu from the welcoming screen, the application will go straight into the menu part of the application. It will attempt to mimic a typical menu with all products separated by pages.

For each item, there is a description, image, compare button, and an add button. When the use clicks on the image, it enlarges. The user can compare items but clicked on the compare button for multiple items and then clicking the "Compare" icon at the bottom, to open the comparing screen. The user can add items to the menu by clicking on the add button, which would prompt a popup for quantity, size, preferences, and any notes he/she would like.

The user can filter which items are displayed on the pages by using the filter tools at the top.

Within the Scenario

Joe uses the menu to quickly order his drink and orders drinks for the rest of the crew. Jane and Julie are choosing which items to compare and using the filtering tools to narrow all the items down to seafood products.

Usability Analysis

Learnability

Like the welcoming page, if the analogy to a typical paper menu works well, it would be easy to pick up how to view the items on the menu. They can always access the help menu if they are stuck at the bottom. There is cluttering of button since there are at least two for each item, and the main icons button at the bottom. There is also a filter tool at the top which might be hard to learn since the user would not be used to filtering items on a paper menu.

Efficiency

Using the paper menu makes looks for items less efficient since you have to scroll between pages. For example, it would be terrible to go from the 10th pages back to the 3rd page. However, if we implement the filter tool well, it would make this less of an issue if they can filter it down to fewer amounts of items.

Safety

If you accidentally click add to order, the menu will prompt if you are sure to order before actually putting the item into the order so it is easily reversible. If the users clicks on the wrong item description or image, they can easily close it. All pop ups will have an easy close button.

Comparing Foods & Drinks
Panel

When the user clicks on the compare icon at the bottom of the viewing screen, a popup open that allows the user to view all of the products and its fact in a table. If there are too many items, the window would scroll horizontally to view the rest of the items. From there, he or she can click to add to the order or close the prompt. 

Within the Scenario

Jane and Julie are deciding which seafood dish they want to order. Jane wants something cheaper whereas Julie wants one with less fat.
