RestoSuite — DASHBOARD
A premium SaaS dashboard built for small-to-medium restaurants and multi-location operators who need clear operational visibility during service.
UI/UX
Dashboard ( SaaS)
ABOUT THE BRAND:
RestoSuite is the operating system for modern restaurants-built to streamline daily operations with clarity, precision, and control. It brings orders, inventory, staff management, and real-time reporting into one elegant, unified workspace that any restaurant can rely on.Designed for speed and consistency, RestoSuite gives owners and teams the tools to run smarter: cleaner workflows, instant insights, and a consistent connection between kitchen, floor, and management. Everything you need to operate with confidence- organized, visible, and effortlessly manageable.A premium SaaS platform crafted for restaurants that value efficiency, intelligence, and growth.
PROJECT OVERVIEW:
RestoSuite is a web-based operations dashboard designed to centralize orders, inventory, staff, and reporting for restaurants. The interface consolidates real-time KPIs, an orders table, and contextual order detail panels to reduce friction between front-of-house and kitchen workflows. Visual hierarchy and micro-interactions guide rapid decision-making for managers and shift leads.
PROJECT GOAL:
• Provide a single-screen operational view that reduces handoffs and manual coordination during peak service.
• Decrease order handling time by improving discoverability of high-priority items and statuses.
• Surface actionable KPIs and trend signals so managers can make informed staffing and inventory decisions in real time.
MY ROLE:
Product Designer
Responsible for UX strategy, information architecture, visual direction, and full UI execution. Managed the end-to-end design process, including layout systems, typography, color direction, component structure, interaction design, and content hierarchy.
THE PROBLEM:
• Operational visibility was fragmented across point-of-sale, spreadsheets, and ad-hoc notes, causing delayed responses and order mistakes.
• Managers lacked a clear, scannable dashboard showing occupancy, active orders, revenue trends, and queue backlog simultaneously.
• Order detail and status changes required multiple clicks or separate apps, increasing cognitive load for staff during service.
THE APPROACH AND PROCESS:
We defined a compact, role-focused dashboard that prioritizes glanceable information, and iterated using low-fidelity flows and stakeholder walkthroughs to validate assumptions. Emphasis was placed on table affordances, status signaling, and a contextual order panel so staff can act without leaving the screen.
• Conducted stakeholder interviews with managers and kitchen leads to map critical tasks and pain points.
• Mapped user journeys for peak and off-peak scenarios to identify required data density and controls.
• Created wireframes focusing on left-anchored navigation and a central orders table for rapid scanning.
• Designed a contextual slide-out order summary to show item-level details and quick actions.
• Built KPI cards and a sales chart to provide trend context and prompt operational decisions.
• Validated visuals and interaction patterns through in-person usability tests during service simulations.
USER INSIGHTS & KEY ACTIONS:
• Insight: Managers need immediate awareness of exceptions (delays, cancellations). Action: Introduced distinct status badges and a “Change Status” primary action in the order panel.
• Insight: Floor staff scan tables left-to-right quickly. Action: Optimized the orders table columns for predictable reading order: Order#, Time, Table, Reservation, Amount, Status.
• Insight: Revenue and queue trends inform short-term staffing. Action: Added compact KPI cards and an hourly sales chart on the dashboard.
• Insight: Item-level details are used to prep kitchen priorities. Action: Added itemized order view with subtotal, tax, and edit affordance in the panel.
WIREFRAME:
DESIGN SYSTEM:
WCAG ACCESSIBILITY DISCLAIMER:
Designed with WCAG 2.1 AA principles as a baseline. Future roadmap includes full accessibility auditing and screen-reader validation for production readiness.
THE SOLUTION:
The final UI organizes information into a clear left navigation, a central orders table for scanning, and a contextual detail panel for action. Visual hierarchy, micro-interactions, and compact KPI components reduce cognitive load and speed up decision-making during service.
• Left-anchored navigation for predictable access to Overview, Orders, Inventory, Staff, and Reports.
• Dashboard KPI cards showing occupancy, active orders, revenue, and kitchen queue with short trend annotations.
• Centralized, high-density orders table optimized for quick scanning and predictable column ordering.
• Color-coded status badges (Served, In Progress, Cancelled) for immediate recognition.
• Slide-out order summary panel with full itemization, subtotal/tax/total, Edit and Change Status actions.
• Sales performance chart and top-selling items module to guide short-term operational choices.
• Consistent spacing, soft shadows, and neutral palette to balance data density with legibility.
UI DOCUMENTION:
KANO MODEL:
USER PERSONAS:
OUTCOME / RESULT:
• Reduced contextual switching by consolidating core operational controls into a single workspace; managers reported clearer prioritization during simulated service.
• Faster triage of order exceptions due to high-visibility status badges and the contextual order panel, lowering the likelihood of missed items.
• Improved confidence in staffing and inventory decisions from at-a-glance KPIs and the sales performance view, supporting more predictable service outcomes.
• Visual and interaction refinements made the interface approachable for non-technical staff while preserving the data richness needed by managers.
LEARNING / CONCLUSION:
• Prioritizing readable data hierarchy and predictable reading patterns materially improves decision velocity in high-pressure service environments.
• Next steps include instrumenting analytics to capture time-to-serve and status-change latency so we can convert qualitative wins into measurable improvements.
• Future iterations should explore configurable alerts and deeper role-based customizations to further reduce noise and surface only the most relevant actions per user role.
