FoodAware - GR4 - Computer Prototype

GR4 - Computer Prototype (in progress)

Starting up the Prototype:

Go to this link:

System Requirements:

Just the browser should be sufficient; the wider the better, but anything wider than 1280px or so should be fine (narrower than 1170 and the nav bar looks weird). Prototype tested on Windows/Linux/OS X with Chrome.

Tasks for Evaluation:

Please use these tasks as a basis to guide the evaluation:

1. Enter food restrictions and preferences
2. Find a restaurant
3. Find food, and adjust restrictions/preferences on the restaurant menu

Incompletely Implemented and Canned Elements:

• The user is logged into the profile 'janedoe' and cannot log out or change users
• On the dietary restriction page, the selected Preferences/Restrictions does not carry over to subsequent pages
• On the dietary restriction page, the user cannot save his current restrictions/preferences to a profile for later use
• On the restaurant search page, the search result is canned and static. 
• On menu page, the set of dishes are static, regardless of previous choices
• On the menu page, the selected dishes are not carried over to the summary page
• No attempt is made to prevent the user from skipping straight from preferences to the menu
• The 'print' button doesn't work on the summary page

Implemented Elements:

• On the restriction page, one can add/remove ingredients to the restriction/preference list, including in batches, and can clear all restrictions/preferences.
• On the restaurant page, the customer can pick a restaurant to continue to (although the data will always be the same)
• On the menu page, one can add/remove ingredients from the preferece/restriction lists, and the current selection is filtered/sorted accordingly.
