Fast Food Drive-Thru Menus Scenarios: College student hungry Get food, get out. FAST! Often: sandwich, fries, drink Typically: Not sure what I want Sometimes: Know what I want Passengers want food too Limited budget
The Good All in one view Organized by categories Tabular format: left aligned, prices aligned Combo meals (high frequency) Get price before proceeding Some: feedback on order
The Bad See menu too late Passengers can’t see menu Passengers must order thru driver Winter: brrrrr… Small Redesign ideas: More menus back in line Menu on both sides of car Microphone on both sides Radical: cell phone, in-car UI
The Ugly I can’t understand a word they say They can’t hear me over my rusted-out muffler
And now for something completely different…
