PartyBowl
PartyBowl is an API concept that simplifies splitting group bills and placing group orders hassle-free.
For this project, we chose Skip The Dishes as our partnering platform to integrate PartyBowl into their application. The same may be applied to the integration of this digital product with any other platform for ordering food.

The Problem
POV Statement
People in a group need a way to order food online and split the bill efficiently because passing the mobile device around is unhygienic and splitting bills for a large order is tedious.

Pain Points
Task flow
2 Scenarios
There are two main task flows, one in which the host decides to pay and the other in which the group decides to split the bill.
Usability Testing
8 moderated in-person usability testing
We created paper wireframes for our concepts, turned them into low-fidelity prototypes, and got feedback from our participants. They were given a variety of tasks to complete. Based on this feedback, we reviewed our data and began to identify patterns. Using this information, we were able to determine what adjustments were necessary before creating our high-fidelity prototype.
Addressing the following changes allowed our design to evolve that we addressed after the usability tests. These changes in turn helped us identify other gaps and concerns.
-
The QR code seems unclear. Who is this meant for(guests or host)?
-
Lock PartyBowl is confusing...
-
The button to start “PartyBowl” is difficult to find.
-
The timer is confusing. What is it for?
-
“It’s on me” and “Split the bill” what are they?
1. It's On Me!
The Host Pays. Low-fidelity Wireframes.
We made certain design changes like adding supporting text for clarity and context, clearing clutter and making the flow easy to follow. Addressing these gaps allowed our design to evolve and after much fine-tuning, we reached the high-fidelity prototype stage.
2. Split The Bill
Group decides to split the bill. Low-fidelity Wireframes.
We made certain design changes like adding supporting text for clarity and context, clearing clutter and making the flow easy to follow. Addressing these gaps allowed our design to evolve and after much fine-tuning, we reached the high-fidelity prototype stage.
