Application Mock-Up
These are images of the mock-up set that we refined from the first deliverable. There are fourteen images of different screen shots of the prospective look/ interface of our application. The previous set of Mock-ups (deliverable 2) have been uploaded in PDF form at the bottom of the page.
Mock-Up Explanation & Revision
In our first deliverable we started with three different mock-up sets of how our app would look and function. After thinking about which ones were best for certain reasons, we decided that using a mock-up closest to model A was the
best choice as a base, and made adjustments to it.
In the first mockup, the app starts with giving the user the option of restaurants in driving or walking distance to the user. We thought that this was an important feature in the app, and the first mock-up utilizes it in a simple and effective manner. It also gives the options of price, proximity, and type all on the first screen, making the user experience easier. The first mock-up also has the user enter in the party size on the first screen, which is an
important part of determining wait times at restaurants.
In terms of organization the first mock-up is much simpler and more intuitive since most of the options are all on the first page. By doing this it makes it easier for the user to change selections, and see all of the factors without having to cycle back and forth through several pages. This version allows the user to get most of the steps out of the way in the beginning, with everything in view. Because of this this mock-up also has fewer steps than the others, without sacrificing any features.
We utilized all these ideas from the first mock-up in terms of structure, but in the revised mock-up set, we made everything cleaner and more attractive. The new pages have a more natural and intuitive feel. The revised set also includes several situations that the original set did not. Like a reservation time change, or the table ready notification.

The Revision
For this set, we added a screen that shows the details of the current reservation and allows the user to change them, such as the time and the number of guests. There is also a delete reservation button that has been added, along with a confirmation pop-up detailing that once the reservation has been deleted, there will be no chance to recover it.
The rest of the mock-up screenshots have been kept because they accurately portray what we want the app to do, and there are no further improvements that we feel can be made on these aspects of the application. What is in the app as of now is, for the initial alpha release, enough to both provide customers with what the app has promised and also allows us to collect data from the users for future releases and continually refine our solution.
