When the food arrives, she hits the button and everyone gets another email "Katie says the food's here. Hope you are still hungr-y". Everybody comes over, pays up, and enjoys the deliciosu Thai food. They are real happy and full.
Designs
Design 1:
- First, Katie needs to invite friends to an order. She can do so by searching through her Facebook friends via dropdown menu or by typing in an e-mail address of the desired person. If desired, she can choose a restaurant or type of restaurant from the searchable drop down list of restaurants in her area. In this case, she chooses “Thai food”. She can also optionally add a message to send along with the invitation. She can view the people she's added in the “friends invited” box on the right side of the screen.
- Next, she is directed to the page to choose a restaurant. Upon accepting the invitation, her friends can also view this screen, and their current status will be displayed in user info tab on the left. This will show what friends are currently viewing the page, which haven't responded yet, and those who declined. Tim really doesn't want Mexican food tonight, so he filters out Mexican restaurants. Janet wants Thai food as well, so she also selects restaurants with Thai food, and the multiplier next to Thai food is increased to show that multiple people favor this option. As Katie and her friends are offering up suggestions about food, a list of constraints is displayed on the right. Once everyone has agreed on a restaurant, they can select that restaurant as their current restaurant (option on list of restaurants) and proceed to order.
- Now, everyone is looking at the same ordering page. They can clearly see who has chosen food and who hasn't on the right side of the screen. Each food item will have a “me too” button near it. In addition, on the right side of the screen will show a list of people willing to share items. For example, when Janet requests a half order of Duck Choo Chee, her request will show up on the right as “Janet is willing to share Duck Choo Chee with one other person.” Tim was slow in choosing his food, so his name remained highlighted in red for quite some time.
- Finally Katie gets to finish her order. She records a tip amount in hungr and everything is sent over to Foodler for finishing. She double checks everything and submits the order. She can also view an itemized list of what Janet, Tim, and Todd owe her. When food arrives, she can push the painfully large “food is here” button.
- At this point, Janet, Tim, and Todd are redirected to a page showing how much they owe, what they ordered, and where and when the food will arrive.
- Lastly, an optional perk would be to show users past orders so that former organizers can keep track of who owes them money.
