Story

Speedy Ramen explored a QR-code based, contactless ordering system for ramen restaurants — letting guests browse the menu, customise their order, and pay without waiting for a server. I led design end-to-end, from concept to a working prototype.

Challenge

How might we let restaurant guests order and pay without needing a server — while giving restaurant staff a simple way to manage orders in real time?

Outcome

A working ordering system prototype, validated through user interviews and usability testing — ultimately discontinued after competitive analysis revealed an already crowded market, reinforcing the value of researching the competitive landscape early.

My Role & Solution

As the sole designer on this project, I owned the concept end-to-end — from initial idea through interaction design, visual design, and prototyping.

I conducted user interviews and usability testing with both diners and restaurant staff to validate the core ordering and management flows before investing further in the concept.

Early competitive research eventually surfaced several well-established players already solving this problem — a discovery that led us to discontinue the project rather than compete in an already crowded space.

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

Speedy Ramen was a strong lesson in the value of researching the competitive landscape early. The core problem we set out to solve was real, but by the time we validated it through user research, several well-funded competitors had already built mature solutions. It reinforced that user validation and market validation need to happen in parallel, not in sequence.
