Highlights from Recent Projects
Grand Studio was engaged by a global restaurant chain to develop an operations performance portal. The project aimed to introduce a new performance consulting platform with market-specific KPIs for all global outlets. The Grand Studio team, consisting of three UX/UI designers, a project design lead, and the CEO, worked closely with the client to capture and synthesize feedback from users of Phase 1 of the tool. They prioritized needs for further development and created different options to enhance user data, insight, and experience. The project was a success, with Grand Studio demonstrating a clear understanding of the client's needs.
In another project, a fast-food restaurant hired Grand Studio to improve the usability of their point of sale system and simplify the user journey. The vendor team, led by the Chief Design Officer, a Lead Designer, a Senior Designer, and a Designer, conducted discovery sessions to define the scope of work. They led workshops to identify and rank priorities, carried out user research sessions, and created prototypes for validation. The prototypes were tested with crew members who confirmed the proposed changes, marking the project as a success.
Grand Studio was also hired by a food technology nonprofit for market research and wireframe design. The project's goal was to uncover consumer needs and potential solutions for new products and initiatives. Grand Studio conducted research, held interviews with members, co-developed a discussion guide, and designed wireframes from scratch which were then tested. The team, led by a Lead Designer and supported by 3-4 team members, worked with the client from September 2020 to January 2023. The project was successful and the client was satisfied with the results.
