Unraveling the Puzzle: Understanding the Platform and Its Pain Points

We conducted comprehensive research to understand the existing platform architecture and identify key pain points. This involved interviews with stakeholders, including restaurants, NGOs, and individual users, to gather insights on their experiences and challenges with food-sharing initiatives.

Define Design Direction: Inefficiency in Information Collection


The eFOOOD Sharing Map originally used an online form to collect voluntary contributions from restaurants and NGOs. However, this process required significant manpower to sort and manage the information. In pursuit of convenience and efficiency, we proposed a front-end and back-end integration approach with a complete architecture to save manpower and resources.

Seamless Integration: Revamping the Application Form


To streamline the process for restaurants and NGOs to join the platform, we redesigned the application form to be more user-friendly and comprehensive. The new form included main sections for:


  • Basic Information

    • Store name, address, contact number, etc.

    • Food Types

    • Ingredients, meals, water etc.

  • Opening Hours

    Time slots available each day or each week.

  • Service Items

    • Can receive and collect ingredients

    • Provide meals

    • Provide drinking water

    • Accept help from volunteers


Working closely with the front-end and back-end development teams, we ensured seamless design integration into the platform. This collaborative approach was crucial for maintaining design integrity while implementing technical functionalities.
