After seeing me, my colleagues and my friends forgetting ordering lunch at work multiple times, I decided to take a step and develop a tool that will help them with the agonizing daily task.
The app orders lunch automatically according to user-preset settings: favorite dishes, favorite food styles, personal menu, meal time, location, etc.
High-tech employees often have a busy schedule of meetings and chores.
Quite a few times, me and/or colleagues forget to order food and at lunch they remembered and had to improvise solutions. The order itself also consumes time and energy that could have been easily saved.
The goal is to assist in their daily task of ordering lunch on time.
High-tech industry employees that receive Cibus/Ten-Bis benefit from their workplace.
There is an additional potential audience of people who order food regularly through the various delivery services, and foodies who like to try new places often.
First I conducted user research, and distributed a questionnaire on users' food ordering habits.
A number of conclusions were drawn from the questionnaire:

25 Years old, software developer
Works for a large company, has a schedule full of chores. Knows the restaurants around him and has regular dishes that he always orders.
Some people automatically did not want to use the automation service, in most cases these are more nutritionally selective people.
Selection of specific dishes and selection of a fixed weekly menu.
There is concern that the app will exceed the Cibus/Ten-Bis budget.
Set a daily / monthly budget in the app.
There is concern about the automation function itself; forgetting to turn off / order when they are not in the office, etc.
Some people want to order food by style and not by specific dish.
An element of surprise for the brave user. The algorithm will know how to match a dish to a desired food style.
The main part of the app is the onboarding process.
The user is asked to set his preferences in order to start the automation service.
He needs to set his usual orders, favorite food styles, allergies and limitations, when and where to order, budget and payment method.
After the initial set-up the app can be on standby and will order as setted.
Every day the app will pop a notification about ordering, before or during the order, as the user sets. In the notification the user can directly enter the app to cancel or change the order.
This is the onboarding process of the app, for first timers and for changing the settings.
