Order Reviews on FoodCourt

A redesign of FoodCourt's order review flow, built to surface a feature almost nobody knew existed, and give the data team the insight they'd been missing.

Background & Role

Background & Role

FoodCourt's data team needed deeper customer insight to refine marketing and improve service delivery. The existing review flow wasn't generating enough useful feedback, so we set out to design something that would naturally encourage users to share their experience, while collecting more actionable insight around the customer experience.

My role covered user research and visual design, working closely with the product manager and mobile engineers throughout the project.

Hidden Reviews, Hidden Insights

Hidden Reviews, Hidden Insights

In the first version of the app, leaving a review meant finding your way to order details first, a screen many users didn't even know existed. The review feature lived quietly inside it, rarely discovered and effectively invisible to most of the people it was built for.

As FoodCourt grew, the lack of feedback became a bigger problem. The data team needed more insight into customers' experiences to help inform decisions around food quality and delivery, but the existing flow wasn't giving them enough useful responses.

Defining User Groups

Defining User Groups

Before redesigning the experience, we needed to understand the different types of orders the new review flow would need to support. We identified two distinct ordering behaviours.

Some users ordered from a single brand at a time, while others combined meals from multiple brands into one order. Although both groups were leaving reviews, the structure of their feedback needed to be different.

For single-brand orders, users could leave feedback based on their overall experience. For multi-brand orders, feedback needed to remain distinguishable across each brand so that insights into food quality stayed accurate and actionable.

Bringing Reviews to the Surface

Bringing Reviews to the Surface

With a clearer understanding of the different order types the experience needed to support, we turned our attention to the other major issue: discoverability. The clearest flaw in the old experience was how buried the feature was. We needed a more visible entry point that wouldn't interrupt the user's experience. The home screen offered the right balance. It was the first place users landed when they opened the app, meaning they could discover the option to leave feedback without needing to know order history existed.

Once an order was completed, a subtle prompt appeared on the home page, inviting the user to share feedback without forcing the interaction. If they dismissed it, the option remained available in order history for later.

We didn't remove the old path. We just stopped making it the only one. The new flow captured feedback across two key areas: food quality and delivery experience, giving the team more structured insight into the parts of the experience they were trying to improve.

What We Achieved

What We Achieved

After multiple design iterations, we released the updated review experience to the app. By July 2024, the impact was clear.

  • 30% increase in feedback — The new entry point and simplified flow increased the volume of reviews, giving the data team a richer and more reliable source of customer insight.

  • More actionable insights — By separating feedback around food quality and delivery experience, the team could better identify where improvements were needed.

  • A more accessible review experience — Bringing reviews to the home screen made the feature easier to discover, allowing more users to share feedback without having to search through their order history.
