Revolutionizing Vegan Restaurant Management with the Vlocator Platform

Problem

Current Vegan restaurants were either not using an online restaurant management system or the system they were using was an obsolete one having poor design options, limited customization options for users, inaccurate order delivery, etc. These discrepancies not only result in dissatisfied customers but also increase operational inefficiencies and costs due to the need for order rectifications and refunds.

Vlocator Team finally decided to take a step further and build a platform specifically for Vegan Restaurant owners to revolutionize the customer experience and take internal kitchen management to the next level. The major goal was to let the Guests/customers interact/order/pay at the restaurant while on the other hand letting the restaurant manage the whole business like kitchen, serving staff, payments, and accounting through a single port. The customer order to delivery journey should be fast, customizable, and simple.

Our Approach

We embarked on an Agile journey, embracing the Scrum framework as our compass. Our mission? To create a sanctuary for vegan restaurant owners, a digital haven where operational woes dissolve and culinary dreams thrive. Through heartfelt conversations with stakeholders and soulful surveys, we unearthed the essence of their needs, sculpting a vision that resonated with their deepest desires. With each sprint, we chiseled away at the digital clay, crafting features that danced to the rhythm of their aspirations. Our testing rituals were like culinary experiments, blending unit tests, integration tests, and end-to-end tests to ensure a flawless feast for the senses. With every release, we celebrated, knowing that our labor of love had brought smiles to the faces of restaurant owners and patrons alike.

Our Implementation Plan

Onboarding

Every Monday marks the beginning of our journey as we initiate the onboarding process on our Monday.com, a project management tool. This involves setting up our initial project plan with clear deadlines, dates, and commitments, ensuring alignment within our internal development team. This roadmap guides us as we dive into setting up various modules, paving the way for regular client reviews.

Task Management

As the week progresses, we transition to using a task board within Midriff web services, providing a structured approach to organize tasks for each module. This enhances our tracking capabilities and allows us to address challenges effectively. Simultaneously, Nick gains the flexibility to prioritize tasks, set deadlines, and assign them to team members as needed, streamlining collaboration with insightful notes.

Time Tracking

To maintain a comprehensive view of our progress, we leverage the built-in time-tracking feature within our task board. This empowers us to monitor the time invested by team members in each task, ensuring accurate billing for our clients while fostering transparency and accountability in our productivity assessments.

Challenges & Solutions

As we delved into designing a user-friendly interface, we encountered the formidable task of harmonizing the diverse needs of our varied user base. Our development journey was punctuated by iterative testing and feedback sessions, where the rubber met the road. We didn't just observe from afar; we rolled up our sleeves and dove into the trenches alongside representative users from each demographic.

Through this immersive approach, we unearthed invaluable insights, discovering pain points and friction areas lurking beneath the surface. Armed with this knowledge, we embarked on a journey of iterative refinement, tweaking layouts, fine-tuning navigation menus, and polishing visual elements with surgical precision. Every adjustment was a step closer to our goal: a seamless user experience that felt tailor-made for each individual, yet cohesive across the entire platform.

The journey wasn't without its twists and turns, but with each iteration, we grew stronger, and more resilient. We listened intently to user feedback, allowing it to serve as our guiding beacon in the tumultuous sea of development. And as the dust settled, we emerged victorious, wielding a user-friendly design forged in the crucible of real-world challenges.
