Fast Food Drive-Thru Menus

• Scenarios:• College student

• hungry

• Get food, get out. FAST!

• Often: sandwich, fries, drink

• Typically: Not sure what I want

• Sometimes: Know what I want

• Passengers want food too

• Limited budget

The Good

• All in one view• Organized by

categories• Tabular format:

left aligned, prices aligned

• Combo meals (high frequency)

• Get price before proceeding

• Some: feedback on order

The Bad

• See menu too late

• Passengers can’t see menu

• Passengers must order thru driver

• Winter: brrrrr…

• Small Redesign ideas:• More menus back in line

• Menu on both sides of car

• Microphone on both sides

• Radical: cell phone, in-car UI

The Ugly

• I can’t understand a word they say

• They can’t hear me over my rusted-out muffler

And now for something completely different…
