Hangry No Mas

Hangry No Mas is an interactive restaurant decision-making game that searches by zip code and meal of choice (breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks or cuisine), places options on a spinning wheel and allows the user to "spin" the wheel. After pressing "spin", the wheel returns a random choice and congratulations the user on making a decision. The user is also allowed to play again, which returns to the initial screen of collecting choice preferences.

Problem

Foodies / restaurant go-ers spend far too much time deliberating over where to eat. The pressure and time lost over making a simple decision as where to eat is an issue.

Hypothesis

If we provide an interactive, easy-to-use spinning wheel that chooses a restaurant for the user we can prevent time lost during the day because users would rather spend time doing other activities than deciding where to eat.

Iterations on Approach

What does the user see while the decision is being made?

  1. Randomly pick a restaurant and redirect to text
  2. Use a 'loading' animation

Reflection / Improvements

While the main purpose of the app was accomplished, the following improvements could add to the UX of the page as a whole.

  1. The font of the resturants on the spinning wheel could be updated to look more modern
  2. The 'SPIN' button could be changed to a flat design
  3. There could be more search parameters in addition to cuisine and radius from zip code (price range, hours open...)
