Problem

Yammii is a cloud-based restaurant technology platform offering POS, QR-code ordering, and management tools for food & beverage businesses. Their existing mobile ordering flow worked functionally but felt dense, unintuitive, and visually inconsistent.

Through a heuristic evaluation using Nielsen's 10 Heuristics and competitive benchmarking against DoorDash and Uber Eats, four core issues emerged:

  • Unnecessary steps in the ordering flow added friction at every screen.
  • Outdated visual interface made it hard to scan and felt off-brand.
  • Weak visual hierarchy meant primary actions weren't clear.
  • Missing navigation logic, for example: no way to "view order" or "start over" after completing one.
Key findings table
Note: As an independent redesign within a startup context, my role focused on identifying usability issues and proposing scalable design solutions rather than implementing or testing them directly.

Solution

A redesigned mobile order flow that addresses each of those issues through three core changes:

01
Streamlined Flow
Reduced order steps from 6 to 5, for faster checkout without removing real decisions.
02
Navigation Fluidity
Added "View Order" and "Start a New Order" after completion. Fixed unresponsive buttons throughout.
03
Modernized UI System
Updated icons, layout, and component hierarchy for cleaner readability and on-brand consistency.

Final design and motion

Why it works: Every screen now answers the question "what should I tap next?" within one second. Three steps removed without losing any actual decisions, and missing navigation patterns restored.

Process

Research: Heuristic evaluation and competitive benchmarking

Since Yammii is an early-stage startup with limited resources for live user testing, I conducted a heuristic evaluation of the existing mobile flow using Nielsen's 10 Heuristics. I paired it with competitive benchmarking against DoorDash and Uber Eats to ground the findings in conventions customers already know.

Ideation: User flow and lo-fi wireframes

I started by user flow mapping (old vs proposed new) so the changes were visible at the journey level, not just per-screen. Then low-fidelity wireframes, where every design decision tied back to the four priorities: simplify, modernize, clarify hierarchy, add navigation logic.

Design: Hi-fi wireframe

I built reusable components, established consistent spacing and typography scales, and iterated on the high-fidelity wireframes in Figma. The visual system stayed close to Yammii's existing brand so returning users wouldn't feel disoriented, while the underlying flow simplifications did the work of making the experience feel new.

Reflections

Learnings

My first time redesigning a production-level mobile UI for a real company. I strengthened my ability to work systematically in Figma: reusable components, consistent spacing and type scales, designing with scalability in mind. Working without direct user feedback pushed me to lean on usability heuristics, competitive analysis, and structured design reasoning.

Challenges

The biggest constraint: lack of access to real users for usability testing. I had to be intentional about documenting design decisions and tradeoffs. Working with an existing product also raised constant questions about what could realistically change vs. what needed to stay familiar for returning users.

If I had more time

I'd extend the redesign to the desktop experience for cross-platform consistency, prioritize lightweight usability testing to validate the flow, and refine edge cases like accessibility considerations, motion, and microinteractions.

Takeaway

Strong UX design isn't about perfect conditions; it's about making thoughtful, evidence-based decisions within real-world constraints. This redesign provides a clear direction for how Yammii's mobile ordering could scale more effectively.
