SAAS ORDERING AND PAYMENT SYSTEM

STORY

Speedy Ramen was a venture concept to digitalize the in-restaurant ordering and payment experience. The goal was to reduce friction for diners while giving restaurants better visibility over their operations — all through a simple QR-based interface.

CHALLENGE

How can we digitalize the dining experience while enabling restaurants to gather insights that help them deliver better service?

OUTCOME

We validated early interest from both diners and restaurant owners, but identified significant market friction and competitive barriers that ultimately led to a strategic decision to discontinue the project.

Product

Simple for guests, trustworthy for restaurants

Restaurants are hesitant to adopt new ordering tech without proof it won't disrupt service. I designed this landing page to lead with the guest-facing simplicity (scan, order, pay) before addressing the restaurant's operational concerns — building trust before asking for commitment.

Learnings

Validated, then parked

Through restaurant-owner interviews and early user testing, we gathered valuable signal — strong user interest, but higher-than-expected friction on the restaurant side in an already crowded market. The project was discontinued following a strategic decision by leadership.

The experience sharpened my approach to validating not just desirability, but viability — a reminder that strong user love doesn't always translate into a workable market.
