All work

01 / Vividish

From the first scan to the last order.

Menus, guest ordering, and restaurant operations, built as one connected product.

The guest view, inside the workspace
A later Vividish guest view capture. The guest menu is previewed inside the restaurant workspace; it is not a screenshot of the January build.

The project

A restaurant, on both sides of the table.

A menu is where a guest starts. A restaurant has to keep working after the guest taps an item. Vividish brings the public experience and the operational work into the same product: ordering, reservations, customer context, menus, and the language that guides each step.

My work moves between interface design and the systems underneath it. A payment button depends on an order state. A reservation slot depends on a second check at submission. A useful customer screen depends on knowing when a feature should stay out of the way.

The early work lived in a POS project called Scanwich. The journal follows that lineage into Vividish, keeping each story tied to what was requested, implemented, or still unresolved at the time.

01

The guest journey

Scan, browse, order, follow the order, and pay at the appropriate moment. The transitions matter as much as the individual screens.

02

The operational layer

Menus, tables, reservations, and customer records share state. I investigate the places where independent features create contradictory experiences.

03

The work behind the interface

AI assisted implementation, scoped data access, concurrent writes, bilingual copy, and visual reviews. The journal separates a proposal from a verified change.

    AI assisted product development

    Saved. But which part of the website?

    One editing session, several different saving rules. How I worked with an AI coding assistant on a restaurant website builder, and why the smallest status message needed a much closer look.

    Implemented

    Creative direction with AI

    Five QR designs later, I rewrote the brief.

    The AI produced five visual directions. I rejected the result because I needed something that belonged on a restaurant table.

    Exploration

    AI assisted workflow design

    Let me order dinner before you ask me to pay.

    The checkout integration was working its way into the wrong moment. I asked the AI assistant to follow the restaurant journey instead.

    Implemented

    Design engineering

    The design system had to reach the actual screens.

    A blueprint and an implementation can both exist while still speaking different visual languages.

    Implemented

    Architecture review

    Could this actually run a hundred restaurants?

    I asked a capacity question. The useful answer was a map of the order path’s weak points.

    Product judgment

    Zero problems should not need a dashboard section.

    There were no duplicate guests to review. The interface still gave the restaurant owner a paragraph about it.

    Implemented

    Reliability review

    A reservation rule has to survive the final click.

    A fast availability check is only one part of a dependable booking flow.

    Language and systems

    The words are part of the interface.

    I wanted English and German copy that helped restaurant staff act, not decode the software.

    Implemented

The working record

The product, up close.

Original captures, visible details,
and room to look closer.
