— Problem to solve
The main objective was to reduce “Restaurants fault cancelled orders” (number of cancelled orders by restaurant attribution reasons).

Affecting final customer experience, user retention in the Rappi app, and directly impacting restaurant sales.

Benchmark

If every other company is doing this (left side: list of active orders; right side: order detail) it must be the best solution right? Maybe not...

Understanding

The real users of the app are the CASHIERS and OPERATORS of the kitchen, and they have a completely different mindset than the restaurant’s owners and Rappi Ops team.

Research method

Discovery process through field research and observation.

Insights

#1: There are clearly three user-roles for every delivery order. Cashiers, Packers and Dispatchers.

#2: For most part of the process, nobody is even looking at the app.

#3: Every kitchen is different: Some restaurants only have one computer, others have 2 tablets, others have several people manipulating the same device.

— Old app model layout
After understanding how kitchens operate, I felt totally confident to point out the old model mistakes.

Branding

Branding helps a company establish its identify. A brand is not just the company’s logo and it involves much more than the name or design. It is the whole personality of the organization. That’s why it is important for the company to choose and promote a brand that represents its business methods and core values.

UX · User Experience

Designing a successful customer experience is essential in today’s market. In this stage, we provide a clear overview of the page structure, layout, information architecture, user flow, functionality, and intended behaviors. This is the skeleton of your product: the structure. I'm a user experience designer focused on creating high-performing products that are well designed and easy to use.

UI · User Interface

UI design is all about how the product's interfaces look. In this stage, the look and feel and styleguide of the product is defined: colors, buttons, fonts and general appearance. This stage is essential so that the entire product interface is attractive and the fundamental elements have a visual hierarchy to guide the user in their navigation. Making your product beautiful is the core of our process.

Prototyping

Prototyping is a simulation or sample version of the final product, which is used for testing prior to launch. The goal of a prototype is to test products before investing time and money into development. It is much cheaper to change a product early in the design process than to make changes after you develop the product. Prototyping allows you to gather feedback from users while you are still planning and designing your product.

— New app model layout
Based on the 3 user-roles. I design a new proposal from scratch:

· The order needs to be accepted.
· The order needs to be prepared.
· The order needs to be dispatched to the delivery boy.

We called them “Kanban model” (as in a traditional kanban).

First reactions

Resistance to change. As soon as they saw something new, most cashiers HATED the idea of a new product.

Second reaction

Easy to explain to others. After the initial resistance, once they had seen a complete flow, the generalized feedback was something like “this makes absolute sense”.

— Results
Numbers perspective: Consistently, during the whole A/B testing process, the Kanban version performed 30% better in reducing “Restaurants fault cancelled orders”.

UX Product perspective: In addition to the good numbers, what made me proud, was that the new product was really easy to explain.
