Quickbite food app
From Craving to Checkout in Minutes
A bold, mobile-first food delivery app designed for speed, clarity, and smooth ordering from browse to checkout in just a few taps.
Timeline
1 week solo sprint
Background
QuickBite was a self-initiated concept for a modern food delivery app. I wanted to challenge myself to design a mobile-first experience that felt fast, visually engaging, and easy to navigate — from menu browsing to checkout. The goal was to minimize friction, maximize clarity, and make food ordering feel effortless with vibrant UI and intuitive flows.
This category details the step-by-step approach taken during the project, including research, planning, design, development, testing, and optimization phases.
Research & Planning
Before diving into visuals, I explored common pain points in food delivery apps: too many taps, unclear categories, and slow checkout. I mapped out a simple flow with key screens Home, Menu, Item Details, Cart, and Checkout focused on minimizing steps and maximizing clarity.
Design & Prototyping
I created a bold, mobile-first UI using large cards, vivid colors, and easily tappable elements. Every decision from typography to spacing aimed to make the app feel quick and easy to use. I prototyped the full flow in Figma and optimized layout for one-handed use.
Development & Implementation
Although this was a concept project, I designed with development constraints in mind: grid systems, consistent components, and clear hierarchy. If developed, it could be easily built using React Native or Flutter.
Testing & Optimization
I conducted mini user tests by sharing the prototype with a few users. Their feedback led to key tweaks like reducing button clutter on the item screen and improving color contrast for accessibility.

Bottom Navigation Bar
QuickBite uses bottom navigation instead of a traditional sidebar, keeping actions thumb-accessible and maintaining a smooth, mobile-first experience..
Visual - First Menu
Food items are showcased using big, bold cards with enticing imagery, prices, and CTAs. This helps users skim, compare, and act quickly ideal for mobile environments where time and attention are limited.
Streamlined Add to cart flow
Users can instantly adjust item quantity and view order totals in real-time reducing friction during checkout.
Here, the outcomes and achievements of the project are highlighted, including user feedback, adoption rates, and industry recognition.
Positive Prototype Feedback
During peer reviews and early user tests, QuickBite was praised for its clean layout, bold visuals, and smooth ordering flow. Users said it felt “fun and easy to use.”
Improved Flow Efficiency
By minimizing taps and focusing on mobile-first UX, the design helped users complete key tasks (like browsing and checkout) quickly improving task flow clarity during tests.
Portfolio Impact
QuickBite became a standout project in my portfolio, helping me showcase bold UI decisions and thoughtful UX patterns in a real-world context.
