Alice’s Bar & Restaurant Inventory App
User Researcher, UI Designer
The Problem
Alice's Bar & Restaurant's inventory-taking process was inefficient and time consuming. Previously, their process involved having each employee take inventory during their shifts separately using pen and paper. At the end of the day, the manager had to combine the lists into a single spread sheet in Microsoft Excel.
Research
I conducted interviews of the employees who who most likely use the app. This helped me create user-personas and journey maps to understand their daily tasks and pain points. What I concluded was the manual process was very tedious and easy to make human error.
The Solution
I created a seamless application that can be used on iPads to help combine inventory lists that the manager can easily print or export. This solved the issue of having multiple inventory lists as well as using a single application to do all the work, as opposed to using pen & paper and Excel.
