It is hard to find vegetarian dishes or restaurants in Turkiye, cause the majority of the population loves meat dishes. Toogreen is a food delivery just for vegetarians in Istanbul/Turkey You can find a variety of vegetarian meals in Istanbul’s restaurants.
As product designers of this project, we should design it for ease of use for users to find their wished dishes quickly and make sure they can find recipes for dishes if they want to make that dish.
So we did:To fully comprehend our users, we conducted a survey and interview with vegetarian people, which helped us know their pain and make something more helpful for them and the business.
By sending a survey to some community of vegetarians to know them, we got surprised and had 32 participants!
We interviewed four people who took part in our survey. We found some crucial keys that you can see in the user problems and user pain points sections. You will see some of our questions and answers below:
By on the data we obtained from our small and quick research, we draw up a general user persona that reflects the app’s users.
By analyzing our significant competitors, Yemeksepeti and Getir, we have identified our strengths and weaknesses, by knowing those, we can become aware of opportunities to grow and surpass rivals.
Card sorting is an effective technique in information architecture; It can help us organize content so that it suits our users’ mental models rather than our point of view of us. Fast, Affordable card sorting is remote card sorting that we did with Figma.
By combining our research we obtained an optimized and organized structure that helps users navigate them to find and process the information they need.
By depicting the whole process, we can identify how the user is navigating and see if they meet their needs. Also, by creating the user flow, we know the steps a user takes to complete that task. It helps us make a clear way for the user to achieve its goal.
For the main page of this application, we needed to generate as many ideas as possible, so we decided to do it with the Crazy 8 method. After we came to a common opinion, we went to draw other sketches.
As always, we prepared the general design system before going to design interfaces, and little by little, we completed the design system while we designed each screen.
In this project, we had both light and dark themes that you will see below.
We ran a usability test with 5 participants and found some minor UX writing issues and two spots for improvement
#Issue 1The first one was when users searched for dishes, some of them didn’t realize there was more than one dish in each restaurant, and some of them had problems with swiping them in restaurant cards. We decided to change them to vertically order and show up to 3 foods, then a more button to see more foods. Here you can see before and after the usability test result.
In the second issue, we found some users had problems when they wanted to explore the menu list, so we added links to each topic of the menu that by clicking on that, the user will scroll to the related section. Here is what we did:
We want to find a solution to choosing the type of vegetarian to avoid re-selecting that for each use. In addition, they should be able to choose another type for other people that they want to order for them.
