In this project, the primary goal was to transition from traditional printed menu cards to digital menus on iPads. As the designer, my role entailed a deep understanding of the diverse customer base served by the hotel's multiple restaurants, each offering distinct cuisines and settings. My task was to infuse the luxury experience associated with each restaurant's theme into the digital interface. This comprehensive design process encompassed sketching, wireframing, meticulous user flow analysis, prototype development, and ultimately crafting the final user interface to deliver a premium and seamless dining experience.
