Kiosk redesign for a food ordering experience

Kiosk redesign for a food ordering experience

This project will be focused on creating a kiosk for the store, Rice & Nori, a rice-ball based restaurant located in Los Angeles, California. This kiosk is planned and designed to make customer’s ordering experience more efficient.


The goal is to create a friendly yet efficient way to order, with all the menu items illustrated for the users to understand what their ordering. Heuristic evaluations and a detailed work flow is used in this project to make sure any users can efficiently navigate the ordering process.

Heuristic Evaluation: McDonald’s Kiosk

Heuristic Evaluation: McDonald’s Kiosk

Heuristic evaluation is a process where the usability of user interfaces are evaluated through a few different heuristics and rate their issues and usability. Using McDonald’s kiosk for a thorough evaluation, a lot pros and cons were concluded, and inspired ideas for this project.

Mapping out how the kiosk would work

Mapping out how the kiosk would work

Before jumping into sketching and wire framing, mapping out a workflow diagram helps give the project a overview for what should be focused. Having an initial idea of what leads to what can help organize the later designs more efficiently.


The diagram was looked over by multiple peers and went through multiple edits before finalizing and starting the project. Having a correct workflow can prevent any future mistakes we may overlook in the beginning of the design process.

From workflow mapping to the final comps, this is where everything has been pieced together for a nearly finished kiosk look. Style guide applied to the wireframes provides us with still states of what each screen would look like as users navigate the kiosk.

A detailed work flow makes the whole process easier

A detailed work flow makes the whole process easier

Having a super detailed workflow on what each button and interaction does, where it leads to, and what happens if there is an error makes the wire-framing and designing process a lot easier. It makes us think more about potential errors, and what elements we need in order to fix it.
