Overview

Problem

Being a loyal Starbucks customer, I noticed areas for improvement in the Starbucks India Android app. Curious if others felt the same, I analyzed Google Play reviews, which confirmed my experience. This inspired me to work on enhancing the app’s overall experience.

Solution

I wanted to design an experience that helps users achieve their primary goal that is, ordering seamlessly through the app. By minimizing load times and streamlining the user journey, the solution focuses on delivering the core functionality users value most—saving time and avoiding queues—while ensuring the process is intuitive and efficient.

User Research and User Personas

As a part of my analysis, I reviewed some Google Play feedbacks for the app to understand user challenges, and I will include these insights for reference. Additionally, I conducted interviews with Starbucks visitors to gather firsthand perspectives on their experiences.

Optimising for mobile design is crucial in satisfaction of the user.
Simple , intuitive designs should be preferred.
