13. Three main things of this service

1. Improving customers’ ordering experience
When a menu in the restaurant has just simple descriptions of each food, It make customers difficult to choose menu. At the same time, customers do not want to read
all descriptions of food on the menu.
One of the interesting things is that people often wonder about the food which people of next table are eating, but usually they could not get any information about the food.
In this service, customers could get information of the food which next table’s people are eating by getting the number of menu on the next table. It will be more reliable information because it is direct and sensible.
If not, customer could get food profile much faster by accessing our smart phone application system through the QR code after checking menu number.

2. Getting feedback from customers
After eating, customers could leave comments about the food or service of restaurant through the QR code.
The comments can be used for other customers when they choose the menu.
Also restaurants could use the comments to improve their food taste and services.

3. Customer management
After improving food or services based on customers’ feedback, e-mail will be sent to customers to let them know about restaurants’ recent improvements. It will make customers to return to the restaurant again and again.

12. Prototyping



Customers could get menu information much easier and faster and remain some feedback about served food and other services of restaurant. It makes customers to engage in the restaurant improvement, and served to return them again to the restaurant.
The restaurant also could improve their food and services using the feedback.

9. Service map


Through interviews and some experience of people, I found that people often wonder about the food which next table’s people are eating. If people could get the information when they order menu, it will be more reliable information because it is direct and sensible information.

In this service design proposal, I tried to focus on this point.
Customers could get information of the food which next table’s people are eating by getting the number of menu on the next table. If not, customer could get food profile much faster through the QR code after checking menu number.
After eating, they could leave comments about the food or service of restaurant through the QR code. The comments are used for other customers when they choose the menu.
Also restaurant could use the comments to improve their food taste and services.
Lastly, by sending e-mail to customers about some improvement of restaurant, they could get regular customers more.

8. Additional research
