The challenge

Creating a platform for staff to communicate with their co-workers and get updates from the company, as well as managers to help share schedules and other news with their employees.

The project

This was a design challenge about creating a time management and communication platform for the employees of a restaurant chain. The goal was to build an online community, provide employees with tools, and help managers communicate with their staff.

Context and research

I needed to know more about the company and their employees, who will be the users of this product.

Who is Pans & Company?

What do they do?

Who are their employees

what are their roles?

Wireframes

Once I had a clear idea of how my users were going to navigate through the platform, I began designing some low fidelity wireframes.At first, my idea was to do a web app. A platform that could be use from desktop, to fit the manager’s work routine, and accessible on the phone, for the rest of the employees that are out and about doing their tasks.So, I created wireframes for desktop and mobile.

Visual design

For the visual design, I wanted to have something that would still reflect the client’s brand identity, but at the same time would be simple and minimal, considering that the cognitive load would be too high and too many bright colours would only be a distraction.

Conclusion

Overall, I enjoyed working on this project. Next step would be to design the mobile version of this platform because a mobile version of this platform would be even more useful to these users.
