🧾 RESTAURANT MENU & ORDERING INTERFACE DESIGN
🔍 About the Task
In this hands-on UI/UX project, you’ll design a modern digital menu and ordering interface for a restaurant. Think of apps like Swiggy, Zomato, or in-restaurant iPad menus — your job is to craft an intuitive, visual, and easy-to-use design where customers can browse food items by category, view images, and place orders for dine-in or takeaway.
This is a real-world design challenge — used by restaurants, cloud kitchens, and food delivery startups — and it’s a strong portfolio piece for interns applying to product or agency UI/UX roles.
✅ What You’ll Do
- Design the user flow for browsing and ordering food
- Create a category-based menu (e.g., Starters, Mains, Desserts, Beverages)
- Add food item cards with images, prices, and descriptions
- Design the order cart and checkout interface
- Build both mobile and desktop screen variants
- Focus on visual clarity, ease of use, and conversion-friendly UX

💡 Pro Tip (Boost Your Portfolio)
✨ Make it real — pick your favorite local restaurant!
Search for a popular café, food truck, or fine-dining place near you.
Design the app as if it’s made for them — use their name, categories, and menu items.
📣 Tag them on social media (Instagram, LinkedIn, etc.) when you post your design.
If they like your work, you might just get real-world appreciation—or a freelancing gig! 💼
💡 Also, feel free to add the restaurant’s logo, theme colors, and style for extra personalization and realism.
