Survey:

No Changes was done to the survey

Comments:

The design is a lot better now, however, there is still too many words and information. we were advised to make it into an infographic to retain the information given while cutting down the words.

The Survey was found to be annoying and we were asked to make it more seamless. we decided to approach it more passively, by having posters in the waiting room. we realised that since we are dealing with millennials, we had to approach TCM in a more subtle way. If we were to push the idea onto them, they would instantly reject it. Hence we need to approach it more subtly.

Comments:

The Design was too Jaring, with strong colours. It was found to be visually unpleasing for the type of mood that is to be set.The design was found to be no Millennial enough. images of the elements were advised to be incorporated while making everything more clean and minimal.

The survey was well received.

More information such as craving and symptoms are to be added to the aftercare card.

Menu Design:  (Done by Rei)  

 

The menu was created with the taste and colour assigned to the emotion. I tried to balance out the choices of western and eastern food. For the Asian palate, I had more Thai and Japanese favours as it was the most requested options during our interview stage

We had a survey as a fun way to evaluate the restaurant goers mood.

Table settings: (Done by Rei advised by Ranveer)

 

Comments

The mini survey was found to be too wordy. it was suggested that we use a pictorial based survey instead.

The Menu was clear, Maybe elements should be tied in to give the feel of TCM. The design felt rather plain and more imagery relating to TCM should be used.

Survey to evaluate the diners feelings

we decided to have a survey, as a fun way to determine the restaurant goers mood. Each answer corresponds to a certian mood. The results are inserted into an excel sheet where the mood of the resturant goers is tabulated. Below is a transcription of the question asked:

 

  1. How did you wake up this morning?
    X F*&# you
    X The birds were singing, the breeze blowing in my window, it was beautiful

we also had a survey, which I, unfortunately, forgot to screenshot and has been updated since.

Comments from our peers:

The system for our healing menu needs to be more holistic. The system of healing needs to be more complete and based on traditional Chinese medicine. In the aftercare, more information such as the cravings and symptoms could be added.

The design was advice to be made more minimalistic while incorporating pictures of the elements.

The place mats were recieved positively
