1. Competitor Analytics

Before embarking on the UX design journey for Sapaad, we conducted comprehensive research, leveraging competitor analytics to gain valuable insights and inform our design decisions. By analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of competitors’ digital experiences, we identified opportunities for differentiation and innovation, ultimately laying the foundation for a user-centric design approach.

Competitor analytics played a pivotal role in shaping the UX research phase of Sapaad’s digital transformation journey, providing valuable insights and guiding our design strategy. By learning from the successes and shortcomings of competitors, we set the stage for a truly differentiated and customer-centric digital experience, poised for long-term success in the competitive restaurant management landscape.

Hikeup
Hikeup stands out as a major competitor, captivating visitors with its captivating hero image, intricate feature illustrations, and an overall minimalist aesthetic.

Lightspeed’s approach to showcasing main features sets a high standard. Emulating their style could provide a polished presentation of key functionalities.

Chatfood
Chatfood impresses with a visually striking hero image, crisp design, and delightful illustrations complementing each feature. The layout’s simplicity and the appealing 3-step process contribute to its allure.

Helcim
Helcim’s hero image stands out as particularly intriguing. Considering its impact, incorporating a similar approach alongside the proposed design could provide an enticing option for our platform.

2. Wireframe

Wireframes serve as the blueprint of digital experiences, providing a structural framework that outlines the layout, functionality, and flow of a website or application. In this phase of the design process, we focus on distilling complex concepts into simplified visual representations, ensuring alignment with user needs and business objectives. By prioritizing functionality over aesthetics, wireframes allow us to iterate quickly, gather feedback, and refine our design approach before moving into the visual design phase.

Outcome & Impact:
By visualizing key interactions and user pathways early on, we mitigate the risk of costly design revisions later in the development cycle. Additionally, wireframes enable us to conduct usability testing, identify potential pain points, and iterate on solutions, ultimately leading to a more user-friendly and intuitive final product. Through this iterative approach, we ensure that the end result not only meets but exceeds user expectations, driving satisfaction and engagement.

Brief & Requirements:

It’s important to have a picture in the center (not illustration) with a happy restaurant owner who is using our Software and we need to mention his name and his restaurant name in a bubble + we need to show at least six icons with names as the same six ones mentioned in. The client really like the slack way of showing avatar (not organized and not in the same size).
The client like to have one color for all logos. But it’s free to decide the direction of using each restaurant logo color.
Prefer to use illustrations for each product.
This example explains exactly what the client want (title, description, ticks with a click). The nice thing is the bold text used in those sentences.
For the picture, the client would appreciate using a picture for a POS or an illustration like the one in the example.

Just have a think of 3 steps for each section (new restaurant owner & multi store owner).
Good to have a different CTA button than the one mentioned above.
Showing features is of the most important parts but the client not sure what would be the best way. They like the hike picture in the example and like the right unorganized boxes. it’s important to have “View all link”.

3. Visual Design

In the visual design stage, we transform wireframes and conceptual ideas into polished, visually stunning interfaces that resonate with users. This phase is where creativity takes center stage as we apply color theory, typography, imagery, and visual hierarchy to bring the design to life. Every element is meticulously crafted to evoke the desired emotional response and align with the brand identity. Through a combination of creativity and strategic thinking, we ensure that the final design not only meets but exceeds user expectations, leaving a lasting impression and driving engagement. By focusing on aesthetics, usability, and brand consistency, we deliver digital experiences that captivate, inspire, and ultimately, elevate our clients’ brand presence in the digital landscape.
