The Top 5 Things You Need to Know Before Designing a Food Delivery App
If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you’re designing a food delivery app, and I want to help you design the best one possible. As someone who recently went through this process, here are my top five things to consider before designing your app
1) Who are you designing it for?
If you are designing an app for food delivery, it will be primarily used by people who are ordering food. That means that your design should be easy and intuitive to use, have clear instructions on how to order, and ensure that the customer can easily find what they want. It should also take into account the needs of the restaurant or business owner – giving them information about how many orders they’ve received, their estimated wait time and more. The design may also need to offer recommendations for customers based on their preferences like high-in-fiber options for people who are trying to watch their weight or gluten-free options for people with celiac disease.
2) How does your design differentiate from others out there?
While there are currently plenty of apps and services for food delivery, none of them have addressed the specific needs of the bicyclist community. With this in mind, Cyclero was created to be the ultimate app for bikers looking for food on-the-go. Cyclero is optimized for both iPhone and Android devices and has an intuitive interface that enables users to quickly find restaurants in their area who offer delivery by bike. Unlike other food delivery apps, Cyclero doesn’t require you to download another service’s app just to place an order!
1) Cyclero is focused specifically on bikers 2) It has a streamlined interface with one click ordering 3) The app only requires you to download one app 4) It offers GPS tracking so cyclists can easily locate restaurants near them
3) Where will people use the app?
People will use the app on their smart phones and we want it to be easy for them to find the food they want. There are three main ways we’ll allow people to search for food. The first is by location, like if they’re in a certain neighborhood or city. Second, there will be filters that allow users to narrow down what they’re looking for so they can find the perfect place that meets their needs: price range, cuisine type, open hours, etc. The third way is with map view – just like you would turn on your phone’s mapping app and zoom in until you see all of the nearby restaurants with an A next to them.
4) What will motivate users to use your app?
Every customer wants something different when it comes to food delivery. Some customers want a fast, cheap option with relatively low-quality food. Others want the best quality of food at any price. And still others are looking for an experience that includes both high-quality and fast service. Our app will offer all three of these options by partnering with restaurants that each specialize in one or two of these areas, which means we’ll be able to satisfy the needs of even the pickiest customer.
5) How can you make sure users aren’t too overwhelmed by your interface design?
Designers need to make sure that the app is intuitive and easy for everyone, whether they are tech savvy or not. There are many ways that designers can do this, such as designing the app with horizontal scrolling in mind, and making sure there is ample white space on the page. One of the most important things is designing an app so it’s clear what actions you need to take and when. When you have fewer choices on the screen at any given time, it will be easier for your user to figure out what they should do next.
