HRD NU DAO + PORA RITH
GENERAL ASSEMBLY - USER EXPERIENCE DESIGN IMMERSIVE FALL 2013
DESIGN CHALLENGE
Who is HRD? HRD Coffee Shop is located in SOMA San Francisco and specializes in Korean gourmet fusion served up in a relaxed atmosphere.
Project Brief: HRD wants a website redesign that will reduce the lunch line by allowing to people to order and pay for food in advance via the website, view the daily specials, and learn the story of HRD.
Method: Interview with HRD.
Findings: 1. They have POS system (Leapset) that they haven’t yet implemented. 2. No updated menu online.3. Customers can’t order over the phone or order online. 4. Lines are always long and this is the biggest barrier for the customer.
Opportunities Identified: 1. How can we reduce the line for people on lunch breaks that have a time limit? 2. How can we show HRD what the POS system would look like once implemented and what those benefits are.
Goals:1. Address the operational challenges that affect the customer experience and present a scalable solution that can solve those challenges and thereby enhance customer experience.2. Redesign website to have a more modern look and feel and include online ordering system.

CONSTRAINTS
• OUT OF BOX SOLUTION FROM LEAPSET
HOW DO WE DESIGN WITHIN THE SYSTEM?
• MERCHANT FORCED TO USE LEAPSET POS AND DESIGN
Motivations: His busy lifestyle makes it difficult to plan ahead and pack lunch, so he often eats out.
Social/tech habits: Works in tech and is a huge foodie. Always on his mobile.
Pain points: He usually only has 1 hour for lunch, and on average he’ll spend at least 35 minutes waiting in line and for food at HRD.
