Vatethila Catering
Summary
My first freelance project was designing an app for Vatethila catering. The client wanted a classic look with bold colors and a clean, minimalist design.

Authentication
When the client requested an "old school" feel, I immediately understood the type of color scheme needed. To get inspired, I started browsing online for ideas. I decided to add images to the login pages to make them more engaging. The welcome page would have a more prominent image to grab attention, while the sign-in and sign-up views would use subtler images.
Main App View
The client wanted a clear and user-friendly app experience. To achieve this, I designed the main app pages, where users spend most of their time, to gather all the necessary information upfront. The design is divided into three sections: delivery details (location and dates), menu selection for each day, and finally, an estimate of the guest count. This layout mirrors popular food delivery apps like Zomato and Swiggy, but maintains the overall "old school" vibe the client requested.
Checkout
While most information is collected on the main app pages, some final details are gathered during checkout for a smoother user experience. This allows users to finalize their menu selections before entering additional details relevant to their order. Additionally, users can review and remove any unwanted items from each day's menu before confirming their choices.
Admin View
A key challenge was designing a system for Vatethila catering to manage their orders effectively. To tackle this, I created a bottom navigation bar with two options: a clear "Home" section summarizing each order with basic details (name, number, location, date) and a separate "Items" option for the admin to easily edit, add, or remove menu items as needed. This streamlines order management and menu updates for Vatethila catering.
