The Design Village (TDV), 5th semester interaction design students created a digital Cafe application from scratch at The Design Village. This was a roundup of accumulated skills and learnings of 3 years at the institute. The batch had to choose hyper-local issues in their immediate environment and come up with multiple experience design interventions, using their accumulated skills.
The students found the problem in food ordering and payments at the canteen. After in-depth research, the design team felt the need for a transparent platform that improved not only the canteen experience but added to the cultural vibe of The Village.
Tushar Kaladharan, mentor and facilitator at The Design Village (TDV), said “The end result was a digital experience through a smartphone application that serves both customers and the canteen personnel. Food ordering, ledger systems and payments were all packaged into a seamless experience with future considerations of inventory management and employee ratings/feedback features.”
The final outcome of the course was an application simulation and Kickstarter-style pitch video showing the possibilities of an integrated smartphone and web platform, aptly named after the existing ‘Village Cafe’. Students also pitched higher management for funds to make the village cafe app a ubiquitous cafe experience for all Villagers.
